2) From a 'developers' point of view (as we hope to trade up quite
quickly) is it even worth replacing the system. The existing system
does work and the house is only a modest 2 bed terrace worth about 85k
when finished. Is the work likely to add more value than it costs?

It's not worth doing. No one will pay extra for a new boiler.
It would only be worth doing if the old system didn't work
(and in most cases, people don't even seem to notice if a
heating system works or not) or you were planning on staying.

7) We currently have an electric shower which has seen better days.

People will probably only notice if it looks bad. Can it be
cleaned up, with a new hose and showerhead? That might be all
it needs to work better in any case. Otherwise a like-for-like
swap.
