I would orient myself based on whether the floor is approved for underfloor heating or not. 0.15 m²K/W is, I believe, the limit that someone came up with for that. Less is better. In the end, you need a few degrees higher flow temperature throughout the entire house. The "worst" room determines the flow temperature. The ground floor will be throttled more, the upper floor/parquet rooms get full flow. With gas it doesn't matter, with a heat pump it might cost about 50€ more per year.
If you heat with a heat pump, I would plan the underfloor heating so that in rooms with parquet it is laid a bit more tightly. In critical rooms with parquet (small but high temperature desired, e.g. an office/children’s room) you could also bring a few meters of the underfloor heating into the wall, then the issue is completely resolved. Later do the hydraulic balancing yourself / remove all thermostats or keep them fully open permanently and control the heating exclusively centrally to keep the flow temperature as low as possible. Always heat the upper floor corridor.
Definitely bond it. That also somewhat reduces the imbalance regarding heat transfer capability between the ground floor (tiles = very good) and parquet (less good).
Already said: The seller has no idea and unfortunately it will not get colder at night.
