I 'crashed' for a short while in a friend's place which had warm air

warm air heating which I'd guess he could have specified if he'd
really wanted to.


Possibly not, if a decent system was going to be installed, the heating
needs to be designed along with the building, otherwise you do get many
of the 'problems' you have mentioned in this and another thread.

Well, yes, but given this was a perfectly conventional house for the UK,
I'd also say it's not possible to incorporate adequate sized ducting
without a space penalty. Of course, people like IMM live on a planet where
space costs nothing. This ain't so in places like London.
