Would a lack of central heating put you off a house
I rented a place in Surrey Quays for a year right next to the canal much as Hovis describes above and could never really warm it up. Same with a one bedroom flat we had near Deptford Bridge. Needed supplementary oil heaters. I love the instant heat of a gas boiler system. It would be a deal breaker for me unless insulation was up to modern standards.

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.
