Asking again, due to lack of any recommendations before.
It is needed for a one-bed flat (for central heating and DHW) - about
60 sq mtrs floor area (kitchen + bathroom with bath + living room +
bedroom). One rad with TRV in each room. Biggest room is 4.5 mtrs x
4.5 mtrs. Flu will go straight out through the cavity wall on which
the combi will be fixed.

You seem to have a conflict in requirements here. cheap does not usually
go along with reliable, and easy to repair. Also cheap boiler often have
expensive spares. Small and easy to repair can also work against each
other.

So it might be useful if you decided what you most important requirement is.

Regrading boiler power, you can ignore the heating requires totally.
Decide on your hot water performance needs.

Cheapest boilers, well you have found some of those - the shed specials
and the like. Biasi etc.

Reliable: look at the quality end of the market. Also have a read of
Ed's boiler choice FAQ to work out what design features are going to
contribute to the reliability.

Small: Have a look at the table "Current HE Models" he
