It's a ballache but not the end of the world. You tend to have to plan your heating more rather than just adjusting the thermostat.
If it's a house then there probably is the option of fitting gas central heating but it won't be cheap as the utilities would need to be run to the house (a friend of mine did it recently, it cost him about £5k).
It would be an issue, it wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me if everything else was good.

Would a lack of central heating put you off a house?
After no luck getting a mortgage on both private and ex-LA flats, we looked at a couple of interesting 1 bed freehold houses this morning, one of which we liked.
Only comment (apart from it being expensive for a 1 bed when compared with leasehold properties) is that it has electric heating. It is a relatively new build (90's) and was very toasty when we looked at it.
