It's about time a manufacturer came up with a similarly sized condensing
boiler with twin flue&inlet pipes that could be threaded through an
existing chimney. They only need to be 50mm each, so they should fit
inside a 9" brick flue easily. it would only need a suitable terminal on
the top, and a condensate drain/pump.

I believe halstead do a condensing flue that can be fitted up a corrugated
stainless flue liner. However the problem with a back boiler (as with
combined range/boilers) is that the gas fire part is non-condensing so
needs a high-temperature flue.

Chimneys are as often as not crooked.
There would rarely be an easy route for the condensate.
