plumber has said that the only thing the loft water tank is feeding is
the cold water for the bathroom sink as I have a combi boiler (mains
feed)
So, he is going to bypass the loft water tank and make it obsolete.
Does this sound the correct thing to do?

It is normal for mains to feed a wash basin.

In modern construction maybe...

During my 50-odd years, it has been typical of all the 1930's housing
around here for all the cold taps in the house to be mains fed, so not
really a modern thing.

The removal of the tank and its supply can only make your system more
reliable.


...and more sanitary.

Yes. I have always been used to being able to fill a glass with water in
the bathroom in the night.
