aibu to think that it should be higher? at least a c?

e basically means not insulated & single glazing.
imo that's not an acceptable minimum.

MN search the i hate summer threads to see the misery of living in over insulated homes.

The problem is that not all houses are suited to retrofit cavity wall insulation.

If your house was built later than 1930, then it is likely that it was built with cavity walls. The cavity is there for a reason; it’s there to keep the inside of your home dry.

Many homes are not naturally watertight. Bricks can become porous and absorb water, which enters through small cracks in the render or pointing, especially during periods of persistent, driving rain. The original purpose of cavity walls was to prevent the spread of damp from the outer walls to the inside of the house by the introduction of an air gap.

Cavity wall insulation, installed improperly or into an unsuitable building, fills the gap and provides a handy conduit for the water which then travels from the outer walls and through the increasingly wet insulation to the inside of the house. The insulation, designed to minimise air flow, never gets a chance to dry out and remains permanently sodden
