Combi boiler vs storage heaters? I have a blank heating canvas and want a cheap fix to last two or so years...

I'm currently looking into buying a property, and oddly (it's 2009, so I think it is odd) it has no central heating. It has gas for the cooker, and electricity for the rest, so I can go either way. There are spaces where the previous owner had storage heaters. My parents have always heated their house with these and I can honestly say I have never been cold in their house. They like them and say they are cheap to run. On the other hand, my partner has always had gas and radiators. I like them too. So, what's the cost/benefit analysis for this?! Is it worth the upheaval and decorating to start from scratch with new radiators and gas? Or do a few strategically placed storage heaters seem to be just as good? Help please, we can't guarantee the summer will still be here by the time we exchange - or even tomorrow...! LoveSoph A member of the lovemoney.com Marketing team
