My preferred solution is to use electric fires for heating, and to heat the
water electrically. I would like to run the water direct from the mains, so
as to do away with the cold water tank. It's only got to serve the kitchen
sink and the bathroom. I'm looking for a hot water heating and storage tank
that can run off mains pressure and isn't too expensive. It needs to be big
enough to run a bath. There are only two places to put the tank, one is 20"
x24" and the other is 16.5" x 39" (both internal measurements).

Sounds like yon need an unvented hot water cylinder with immersion heater(s)

I guess that I need to check the electricity supply into the flat is
adequate - is it enough just to check the main fuse on the distribution
board?

That would be a start. Make a list of an other "big" electrical items
already in there as you go.
