would you recon the flat in the floor plan above, 35sq meter, 3 radiator tiny flat, would be alright on an electric boiler? I can see how on a house it wouldn't work but hoping it would be a relatively negligible difference on something so small

Electric Boilers are designed as 'like-for-like' gas boiler replacement.
I doubt any one makes them that small at the moment. Even gas boilers will be minimum 2 bed, 1 bathroom, 5 rooms with radiators.
There isn't a lot of choice on the market as no one really buys them, classic lack of demand. 🤷

No matter what the size of the flat you'll spend more on electricity than you would running a gas boiler.
Gas boilers modulate no matter what size the property, it'll heat fast and for that size you'd get away with a wee boiler.

Electricity costs about 5 times more per kWh than gas. Whether that’s affordable or not depends a lot on how well insulated the flat is, how much heat you’ll get from neighbouring flats, etc.
If you’re committed to electric, for three radiators you might as well junk the lot and install wall mounted heaters.

No, they are pretty hefty. 45 to 50A minimum which, on a small house or flat will take most of the suppliers main fuse capacity.
Even a 7kW electric shower is advised at 32A with a 6mm cable.
