Buying House with Electric Heating

trep15

Hi there,

I am considering putting an offer on a house that ticks nearly all the boxes for me besides the fact that the heating is electric so I would appreciate any advice people can offer please. FYI, the house has a C1 BER rating. The property owner has invested in bringing this up.

My main questions are:

• Are the heaters in the attached pic any good? The house has four or five of them in it
• Should I factor in the fact that the living room has a solid fuel stove in it into my decision? From the limited bit i've read, they seem to be more efficient than electric
• Ballpark, How much should I budget to put in a new energy efficient heating system?
• Are there any red flags about the house that could mean that installing a new energy system would be significantly more expensive than would normally be expected?

Thank you - this is the biggest decision of my life so I would really appreciate any advice people have
