We've just recently tried to get the BUS grant ourselves. Our installer has told us it was refused 4 days before the install because "We don't currently have a boiler" - We're on all electric currently (small 2KW Panel heater, and a stiebel eltron for hot water). Still trying to get more details as according to eligibility that should be fine, but I'd just be aware that at least in our case they do seem to be refusing for non-standard reasons! Luckily we're just about able to cope with the 2KW and MVHR, providing we have a fairly mild winter (Can't get a new install done until the appeal for the grant has gone through! so a minimum 2 month delay as the installer is obviously filling up availability). Makes me wonder if I made the right decision during the reno to aim for heat pump rather than gas boiler, could have had heating a year and half ago instead of putting it off.
