Girlie says it all!
There are only a few brands of 'Double' ovens that will fit below a worktop, normally the plinth is ommited, as the unit sits on the floor.

As long as dimensions are correct, it is a 10 min job. Open door and locate 4 little screws that hold the oven in existing house. Once you got these out pull the oven towards you from inside the oven and NOT the door. You should have enough flex to sit the oven on the floor,if not it is a 2 man job. Make sure electric is isolated to the oven from both switch and consumer box. Now it is as simple as wiring a plug, just unscrew the plate the flex leads too and and copy what you see with your new oven. Happy cooking. PS, If your not confidant working with electric get a sparky round.Should cost no more than £80

Double ovens are (mostly?) too tall to fit into the space below a worktop. Even if it does then your electric supply will probably be unsuitable.
Single ovens are powered from a 13a outlet. Double ovens require 20a minimum (usually) and need to have their own circuit from the consumer unit (fuseboard).

Most single ovens are the same size so if you are replacing an existing oven the new one will slide easily into the same cap.

unless you want to lay on the floor to see whats in the oven the answer is no. they are made to go in an oven housing unit.

If the space is wide enough no problemo, if not, you may as well look out for a handy paddle for the canoe you are setting sail in.
