Daughter has seen a very nice home in a rural area however oil is used for heating. Oil is about £0.94p a litre at present and the tank holds 1200 litres. It will be full to the brim on commencement of tenancy and when the lease is up, the tenant has to leave the tank full. She is only looking at the moment as no idea when they can arrive.
This raises and interesting aspect. I would think that the hot water boiler would be powered by electric, but unsure. Her spouse normally works from home as an IT specialist so probably need heating all day as they will be coming from the tropics and it takes 2 - 3 years to adjust to British weather.
How does oil heating compare to gas or air source heating as I would think heating for the home would be required from Oct to May?
