I'm currently looking at a flat that used to be an old church.

On the plus side, it's got loads of period features, it's airy, roomy and my missus is scared of staying there.

On the negative side, it seems to have no gas (electric cooker and electric heating) and the walls are solid and possibly not well insulated . Current EPC is a F (32), they have said the walls are solid whinstone or granite, and no insulation is assumed.

Does anyone know if there is anything specific I should look out for in these sorts of properties? It doesn't seem to be the most sympathetic conversion to be honest - it's stunning from the outside, but it seems a lot of the internal features have been removed. Not sure why.

Electric heating in a place like that would be ruinous.
Yeah, that was my initial thought too. Shame really...
