Speak to a qualified supplier & installer.
Heat pumps are obviously a no-go if it's a flat, and an internal ASHP would be a terrible idea - they're not quiet and you'd be sacrificing valuable floor space to a noisy metal box...
Electric UFH would be good for heating a bathroom (Schluter do a good ditra-mat combined soultion), and you could also put in an electric-only heated towel rail, but heating a whole flat this way would be inadvisable. You want an electric boiler heating water for wet radiators.

Out of interest, what makes electrically heating water then pumping it around better than electrically heating the floors?
The later should be maintenance free and much less of a headache to install and use but obvs. if it costs 10x to run or something…

Respectfully disagree. Modern inverter driven HPs are very quiet (I've worked in HP industry for fifteen years). I'm literally putting one in my own apartment at the moment however my outdoor unit will be in the garden as it's a ground floor apartment.
Depending on whether @revenant. can put anything on outside walls the outdoor unit could be wall mounted too... they're basically just an AC unit (of sorts and size)...

Can anyone advise on boiler and heating systems?
Place we are buying is electricity only (no gas). It currently has wall mounted electric convection heaters, which are terrible, and a heatrae Sadia megaflo boiler that is over 20 years old.
What are the best options for a new electric boiler and heating system? Is electric underfloor viable throughout?
