Electric to gas hob conversion

I am moving to a house that currently has an electric hob, how much approximately would it cost to convert to a gas hob?

"If the house already has gas, it’s usually not too expensive.

You’re roughly looking at:
• £100–£500 for the gas hob itself (depending on brand and size)
• £100–£200 for a Gas Safe engineer to fit it

If there’s already a gas point under the hob, the total is often around £200–£400.

If a new gas pipe needs running to the hob, that can add £50–£300, so more like £300–£700 overall.

If the house doesn’t have gas at all, that’s when it gets pricey — getting a new gas connection can be £800–£2,000+.

All gas work has to be done by a Gas Safe engineer."
