First job, get the services connected......

Then find a friendly central heating sorter-outerer, as it's got Hock,
ptooey a combo boiler.

Well, you could keep it and just use it as a system boiler, that is
one you've installed an indirect cylinder and gubbins.

I'll look into that. I need to chat with a plumber anyway, and as the
system's been drained......

I may just decide to inatall an electric shower and electric heater for
the sink anyway. I suspect it'll be outside the budget to put a tank and
immersion heater back in. I only normally use hot water for one shower
and one washing up session per day. That's when I'm at home, which is
about 120 days per year.

Sounds like a combi is the ideal boiler for your pattern of use ;-)
Adding an unvented cylinder will probably cost at lest £500 for no real
benefit. Converting to gravity will just make your showers crap, and
involve a greater risk of flooding while the place is unoccupied.
