New Flats and Electric Heating

I've been looking at a few new build (or second hand, less than 3 years old) apartments for purchase as an OO.There is no gas in the properties and electric panel heaters have been installed in all rooms.Does anyone know how much one of these costs to run in a year given the current insulation requirements? I'd be working from home so I'd need the living areas to be heated all day. Normally, I would accept the inconvenience of a Storage radiator for this but as the meter is down in a dungeon somewhere, installing a circuit for this is likely to be next to impossible? (Unless anyone knows different)(For clarity, I don't need a discussion on the unit costs, I'm thinking "how much of each day will the heater need to be on, given a certain outside temp")TIAtim
