Finally, we have moved back in! There is still a fairly long list of things yet to be done (e.g. installing a kitchen) but great progress has been made in the plumbing department since moving in 2 weeks ago.
So what's it like? Thermally, it is fantastic - warm, comfortable, the temperature is stable, no hot and cold spots, no draughts. The thermometer sits around 19-20 degrees all the time. It is a completely different house from the one we moved out of a year ago.
We have 3 tiny radiators, which are currently on to help dry out the plaster, but we've had to turn some of them down or it gets too hot. So it looks as if the heating system is about right for the house. We'll know by the end of the winter if the system is adequate in really cold weather.
Since the MVHR was switched on, air quality has also been very pleasant (much better than having a window or two open, which did not promote air flow in every room).
It is still something of a DIY zone, but we are getting there. Not quite ready to commission the MVHR system and carry out the final air tightness test...
