Moving Radiator Form One Wall To Another....

Hi

I am in process of purchasing a 2 bed flat in london. I went to view the place a few days ago and i was thinking of moving one of the radiator in the front room from one wall to the opposite wall.

Unfortunately my DIY has alot to be desired (hopeless), would this cost alot to do, rough estimates? and is it a big job? Would it require taking up flooring etc?

thanks for help.

    Thanks for reply-

    1) Not congestion zone its zone 3.

    2) Movements would be across room apprx 3 meters

    3) regarding pipes etc i am not really sure as i have not moved in yet.

    4) flooring is vinly (wood effect).

    Hope this helps.
