Energy costs for big properties.

My wife and I have a 3 bed, 2 reception room Victorian house. It's a drafty place, with the upstairs often being quite cold in the winter months, however we've found we've averaged £800 in gas/elec per year. We are quite mean with our heating! (We have a 30kw combi boiler).

We love Victorian houses and have recently seen a few very competitively priced fixer uppers. One Victorian semi mansion house where we live is priced at just £120k because it's so dilapidated. These places come up quite regularly for under 200k.

I'm interested to learn of the typical energy prices for older drafty homes such as these. Our place is 140sqm, and the house we've seen is over 200sqm. It has 5 beds, 4 reception rooms.

Probably best to ask the previous owners if possible, or if not, look at the energy certificate for the property.
