Electric oven but gas point

I've got an electric oven being delivered today but realised last night there's no point for an electric oven but a gas pipe! Was told by seller that he has electric so he must have just put it in a normal socket.
Does anyone know if its possible to put a point in? and how much is it likely to cost me?

    If it is a free standing oven there is no way you can have it plugged into an ordinary 13a socket. It needs a seperate circuit rated at (I think) 45amps. If it is a built in single oven where you can't have then oven and grill on at the same time, then you can plug it in to a 13amp socket (mine is like this). If it is a double oven, again you will need a seperate circuit.
    Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.

    You will need a cooker outlet box fitting then. This needs it's own cable back to the consumer unit (fuse box). Sorry, don't know how much this would cost you.
