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.

If it's for your use or for you to maintain - don't buy cheap!
If it's a renovation project get the cheapest you can find at the spec
you want with the longest guarantee ("the boiler still has 'x' years
guarantee" will be a selling point).

Sound advice.

The pros I know all seem to love Worcester-Bosch, and that's what I
ended up buying myself (a 24i Junior, which would suit the above
requirements I'd have thought) mainly to ensure my CORGI would not
object to fitting it!

Went through the Government 'energysmart' scheme at the bizarrely-named
http://www.uselessenergy.org.uk which AFAIK is as good a price as
anywhere for the models which they handle.

At the moment I have bad thoughts about WB and the 24i. Having watched
their own engineer struggle for two hours to replace a pump, with much
gnashing of teeth, I wouldn't say they're "easy" to work on.
