In which case I'd definitely want to find out more about why a new-build wasn't constructed with gas already in-situ, even if not actually installed into individual flats.

On the plus side, building regulations/building standards applicable then should have required a high level of energy efficiency regardless of fuel type.

I will ask! It's the only think that is making me hesitant about the property

How about your own personal preferences? Do like to have the heating on even in the Summer, or would you rather put on another layer rather than turn up the thermostat? Can make all the difference.

Bear in mind that if it makes you hesitant, it may also make the people you sell to in the future hesitant too.

But you need facts rather than feelings or guesses. If the building is highly energy efficient and you don't want to cook with gas the current arrangements might have the lowest running costs. Electric heating is not as bad as some people think, if it is used in the right kind of building.

We're pretty sensible! Wouldn't put it on in Summer and only when needed in Winter really. But like you said a lot of people seem put off by electricity so I am thinking whether it would be harder to sell in future. I'll ask the sellers about their cost and usage! Thanks!
