I need to make a flat habitable again. However, the place is due for

It had GCH, but that is all sludged up, and the boiler is completely shot..
Besides that, it has a combined cold water tank/hot water tank in the airing
cupboard, and this is also shot.

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.

You could use a copper hot water cylinder with a header tank, or a
combined fortic tank. In both cases the HW isnt at mains pressure,
eliminating legal and safety issues, and making it easy to get hold of
the necessary tank/s for peanuts used.
