Default Combi Boiler Q

Hi all

A colleague of mine has bought a property to do up and sell on.
It is a 3 bed terraced place with no ch.

He has been quoted a seriously cheap price £804 to fit ch. I think
this was for an 18kw noname boiler.
As this is just for flipping, it is likely the question is
immaterial, but I was wondering what is the minimum boiler rating
that is likely to be able to provide decent flow for a
shower?

I'm thinking this place would only have space for a single
bath/shower room.

Thanks

Phil

Age and size of property? My personal prejudice is that combis may
struggle in Victorian properties (except perhaps for a 2 up 2 down?)
but I use a compact modern (1990?) holiday cottage where pipe runs are
very short and a standard small combi (could well be 18 kW) services the
shower OK.

That price does sound slightly too good to be true, unless it is in
Middlesborough.
