Underfloor heating

    Hi guys, I'm currently looking at bidding on a house that has underfloor zoned heating. I am concerned about this feature as I've heard a lot of negative things about UFH. Is this a reasonable concern? Is it a big deal to convert to radiators?

    Thank you.

    Underfloor works very well, what your reading about is badly fitted underfloor and home owners who don't understand it and have no wish to understand it.

    You may find the heating system needs a bit of love but that would be the same for a rad system as well.

    I have underfloor heating in parts of my house. I also have radiators in other parts. To be honest I've cut down using both and prefer heating the house with a wood burning stove in my sitting room. I think these days a lot of people do the same and have several ways of heating house. Even though I don't particularly like the underfloor heating, and prefer rads, it wouldn't put me off buying a house.
