How well insulated and draught-proof is it? Electric-only is the future but it only works if your place is thermally efficient.

Pretty well insulated and draught proof. It was built circa 2000, so done to whatever building regs prevailed then. It is the ground and first floor of a four storey building, with a concrete ceiling so not much heat loss through the roof. Circa 50% of walls are external facing. I think there is PIR or equivalent in the walls. Obviously double glazed.
We used to live in a 2 bed in the same place, and we never updated the convection wall heaters. They were useless, but our electricity bills weren't too awful. I just want to get something as efficient as possible in the new place.
I guess wet underfloor is an option, but would mean raising the ground floor a couple of inches I think? The ceilings are very high so could be viable. The other option some neighbours have is ceiling mounted heaters, but I don't know much about them.

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?
