I'm about to buy a new carpet for a new house with electric underfloor
heating. Am I restricted to looking at thin carpets and underlay? Or
does underfloor heating work reasonably well with most carpets?

The instructions that came with our electric UFH (which I've just fitted
under tiles) say this:

"Carpets
While it is possible to use carpets with an underfloor heating system
they often absorb too much heat to be very effective. The Tog value of
the carpet and underlay must be less than 1.5. If you wish to use
carpets with any of our cables, please contact us and we will be happy
to advise you of the best options."

It would be worth contacting the manufacturerd of your UFH - the answer
will largely depend on the output of the cable.
