built-in electric oven

Hi, I'm new here but hoping someone can help me please...
We've just bought a house with a built in oven, which was absolutely filthy when we moved in a couple of weeks ago. I've just had someone professionally clean it and then tried to turn it on to use it (as I haven't used it since we moved in!) and it's not getting hot at all!
The fan is blowing cold air, but not heating at all, I just had it on for 15 minutes and tried the grill and the oven. The thermostat light isn't coming on on the front either.
I then unscrewed the back of the oven to see what kind of element I need to order because I assumed that was the problem, but there doesn't seem to be one there?! I'll post a picture in a sec but really?! Have the previous owners taken it out and not replaced it, or is it not where I think it should be or...?!
EDIT - I can't see how to attach photos, but the fan has spiky edges, and that's all that's there, there definitely doesn't seem to be an element!

The main element is normally in the bottom of the oven with the grill element visable at the top, will the grill come on when selected? if not sounds like the thermostat might be u/s.0

The element of a fan oven is around the fan. Or at least it should be!Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0

On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning0
