During the summer of 2019, my wife and I bought a three-bedroom 1970’s purpose-built flat. The area was lovely and quiet, the town was the perfect sized and just far enough away from London to make the pace of life feel slower.
Unfortunately shortly after moving in we realised the flat had some major sound and heat issues! The rooms got cold very quickly (especially the north-facing one’s) and we could hear the neighbours below closing doors, talking and even sneezing!
This is our story of how we tried to fix these issues and make our home warmer and quieter (without costing the earth).
