Same with my house, maybe a bit lower.
HDDs are based on a normal distribution around the the mean temperature, with the standard deviation changing for different climate zones (the kurtosis) rather than actual location specific data.
As the UK has a more leptokurtic temperature distribution (flatter in the middle bit), this can skew the number of 'official' HDDs and CDDs.
They are still useful for a first order approximation and when you have a system up and running are probably the best method to fine tune your weather compensation curve.
