Not a problem, sits within trays between joists, insulation below, have to use 'engineered' flooring above not your old T&G.
Apart for the points already raised, if you don't have gas (or even if you do) Air source heat pumps in place of conventional boilers, couple that up with PV panels on the roof, many combinations possible.
If you're have nice big glazed doors to the usual kitchen dining sitting space, make sure they are triple glazed, also if the opening is big enough (6m) use sliders not Bi-fold, nothing worse than loads of vertical door sections spoiling the view when they are closed. Split the sliders into 3, so only 2 vertical and use slimline 30mm junction so virtually seamless glass. Option then to slide both ways and 2/3rds open.
Do remember that UF heating in solid floors is not instant, works like a storage radiator so have a funky designer rad in the loop as an option, or wet system plinth heaters in kitchen, don't have to use them but really handy if temp bottoms out quickly & you get caught out!
