Yes it’s a set monthly payment to cover the whole year & I might ask them to pay the actual monthly bill instead of the set amount, It is an old cold house which we’ve had cavity wall & loft insulation done. We usually only heat one room or put the central heating on for a couple of hours at night time when it gets too cold.
^ That’s going to be the default living standard for all but the rich.
As for cavity wall and loft insulation combined with a cold house with local warm areas that’s all the ingredients to wreck a house through condensation and damp.
The cavity walls are there for a reason filling the space defeats the object.
