    Chances are you just can't see the heater in the photographs. It's quite common to find a fan heater (often above the door) with an on/off pull-cord.

    how is apt heated, may be underfloor elec heating in the bathroom which is so is $$$$$$$$$ to run unless controlled

    Oh, the landlord confirmed me that we haven't heater in the apartment


    I can't post links, but in Daft is the 875 apartment in High Street



    How hard (and expensive) could be install the typical air heater in the bathroom?

    In most apartment blocks in this country unless you are on the ground floor you won't use a heater in the bedroom, or at least anyone I know living in apartments has never used the bedroom heater. Unless you've a young child it won't be needed, if it is you can get oil heaters which would be more economical.

    OP is referring to a bathroom heater.

    Yes, I am talking about a Bathroom heater, and I am in the ground floor, cause is a small house

    You could ask your landlord would he be prepared to pay for one of these to be installed. Between heater & electrician it wouldn't cost a bomb & you'd really only need to use it when you were in there. It wouldn't make the place overly warm but would certainly take the chill out of the bathroom especially during/after showering.
