Thanks. A property that I'm tempted to put an offer on has lpg.
Will have to dig a bit further. It seems that the tanks & controls are normally owned by the supplier & you get tied in. With oil you can shop around. Seems potentially an expensive option.

My Brother has LPG in his (large) property - his winter heating bills are horrendous - even with using a wood burner in the living main room
How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

I suspect it will also depend on the efficiency of your burner, and the hidden costs of LPG, such as transport/replacement bottles, plus any overhead in plumbing it in...
It's cheaper than petrol, that's all I know...
Unless you're the lead dog, the scenery never changes.
I'm on LPG and my heating bill is pretty enormous. Last 12 months has come in at about £2800!
However.
We are tied to one supplier for 2 years for reasons I won't go into and are currently paying about 9p per litre over the national average, which is a 25% hit. (Working on this)
The house is ******* gigantic too - 300m2 of floorspace with high ceilings.
There's an Aga happily burning gas 24/7 from about mid-November until end of February or later.
My wife is hyper-nesh and starts moaning about being "freezing" when the glass hits 19C.
Tanks and controls won't be yours which is a slight bonus - in our old property we were on Kerosene and I had to replace the tank and 25m of under-lawn pipework which really wasn't funny.
As with all things YMMV but for what it's worth; if it's on LPG it's probably a bloody nice gaff in a bloody nice place and if so, dude, the peace will be worth it. I always say moving here took 10 years off me.
