Is there an obvious reason why it wasn’t there to start with? I’d be double checking dimensions and depth of cupboard etc.

@Grumpy_Git thanks!
@cjr good point. Not that I can see. The original hob was gas, so perhaps the supply pipe and thickness of hob itself meant that the oven wouldn't fit.
I suppose the original motivation was having an oven higher up. The location isn't actually terrible, to be honest, it's just that it's next to the breakfast bar (clashes with chair) and fridge (hottest and coldest thing next to each other). The room is quite constrained, so I imagine this was the best layout available with the client not wanting to bend down to get to the oven. But... Now I'm the client and I'm more annoyed about heating up my fridge, whose compressor is running constantly (and noisily) and whose upper shelf isn't actually very cold.
When I can afford, I'll replace the fridge. But it's nice to give a helping hand to the new one. I'll double check all the dimensions, but height looks fine and depth should be ok as it's already in the adjacent location.

I've got a built-in oven. The location is not great (right next to fridge).
If I want to move it to this cabinet under the hob, what do I need to check/do to make sure it can be installed into the existing cabinet carcass?
Answers should assume that the electrical aspects of the move are being handled by a competent professional. I'm interested only in the practical/physical aspects of the install.
