You would potentially be starving other flats by sucking the supply in. The best way to achieve decent internal pressure is to use a cold water tank that feeds a pump which pressurises a smaller tank at 6bar which then provides 1.8 or something to the property. Problem is you need to check every pipe in the property can take the pressure and you need space for the tanks and pumps.
In theory small domestic property with low demand, i.e. only one bathroom, would not need the huge tank a 4 bed three bathroom place needs. You could probably calculate the requirement and have tanks very close to the optimum size.

At the moment you can't run two taps at the same time, one will be a dribble and the other not much better.
It'd be awesome to have decent pressure, I'd be happy to install a small tank - however it appears that a shower uses around 50 litres of water, so for two people a 100 litre tank would be needed - which is going to be a significant volume to hide away somewhere.

On the topic of weak mains pressure, we are one of 63 flats, modern regulations would see a large pump providing pressure but the block went up in the 1930s and all we have is mains pressure - which is not great by the time it gets to us. Would a pump resolve this, or would it simply overwhelm the supply?
