I should point out that the EPC for this apartment is 3200 kWh a year (this apartment is top floor).

Yet it was built in the 1880s and has an E rating?

That 3200kWh/yr needs a tablespoon of salt, not a pinch!

It depends.

Even wet electric radiator systems can have night charged energy stores.

Some are wet to wet - others brick to wet or other medium.



In the same way nsh are brick to air (not wet - copy paste and incomplete edit oops - must pay more attention - and not be looking out of bus window on way home as post).

@Scot_39 Surely not, they're brick to air?

The apartment directly underneath (ground floor) is 5200 kWh a year (poor floor insulation).

 The primary energy is 17,300 and sounds far more realistic for a EPC E with wet electric rads and boiler. Standard E7 would not work, is it on a 10hr comfort tariff?

What is the stated primary energy per sqm of both from the EPC's?  

Under 150 is good, 200-500 bad.


Solid wall house D66  213 Kwh/m2 as an example  19,000 kwh is likely more accurate than the ''Space heating'' being stated as 11,800 kwh tand water heating as 2,500kwh

The primary energy use for this property per year is 315 kWh per square metre (kWh/m²)

Total floor area 55 square metres

Try sticking the address of the flat into https://www.moneysupermarket.com/store/gas-and-electricity/enquiry/ for an indicative idea of the annual energy use. It doesn't matter what tariff you give, you just want to get to the final screen with the usage in kwh.

I'd be inclined to run a mile given what you've told us!

I'd run a mile and I'm saying that from the position of being very happy all electric. 
Unless you intend and are able to convert to modern storage heaters 
My friend rents a small 2 bed flat with an electric boiler and radiators and it costs £3 per hour to put the heating on.
