We’re going to end up with a strange hybrid. Under the new part of the house, the UFH will be in the slab. In most of the existing part, it’ll be in a suspended floor.
And then we’ll probably need a rad in the kitchen because I suspect there’s a thin sub floor and then bare earth.
The plot our house was built on slopes significantly. I’m find out that it means everyone costs twice as much.

Also don't forget about boring things like damp tea towels.
My folks went for a towel rail - their kitchen isn't big so any people and cooking warms it up quickly.
In terms of floor surfaces when mini-H was learning to walk we had those foam floor tiles in the kitchen - it was bliss. Albeit not a practical long term solution. Looking fwd to them coming back out for our next one.

I thought carpet was bad for UFH? When we had ours installed, we were told roughly the order for best results was Tiles>Vinyl>Wood>Carpet, although there are some specialist carpets designed for UFH, and apparently the thinner the wood the better.
We have UFH but only on the ground floor, and buried under 6 inches of screed, so probably not an option, it is great though and would never go back, added bonus is that the cats and dogs love it, will spend the whole of winter lying on the floor rather than in their beds.
