Those earthing cables could have been put somewhere else, rather than right
next to that switch. And maybe that filling loop doesn't need to be right on
that corner...

Some boilers I think have the option of a pipe being routed behind the
boiler (with an entry or exit at the top).

I really sound ungrateful but if I want to rent the house out in the
future I'm going to have to do something about it.

I don't think renters care about that, it's not their boiler; it just needs
to work.

Any long-term renter would probably care. What I would do is simply
put a few of bits of wood around the whole thing to make a
corner-cupboard for the boiler and pipes. Less than £100 and a
weekend of work for any amateur DIY-er.
