    There won't be any heat loss between two homes, the walls that need insulated are the external ones for obvious reasons. I think you are clutching at straws tbh.

    Yes, there will be - and in mid-terraced houses heat loss through party cavity walls is the main heat loss. A poor cavity wall will loss more heat than an external insulated wall per square metre.

    However, nothing to suggest that the OP's party walls have been built incorrectly.
