We probably won't get rid of it, as it'll prove too expensive, but that tank is currently taking up a double size cupboard in the kitchen...
Similar situation to that flat you saw, we're redoing the kitchen and would prefer to use that cupboard space for something else. That said, moving it is going to cost thousands I imagine, and the value of that cupboard will never be worth that.
The place has two bathrooms, no floor heating and three inhabitants - I reckon a combi should be able to manage it, it seems (to my unprofessional eye) overspeced!

Why would you get rid of it? Presume it’s a house with more than one bathroom/showers etc? That’s the only reason to have a system like that so the demand for hot water and heating can be met when people want a bath/shower at the same time.
We looked at an identical flat to ours with a system like that which took up all the 3 central storage cupboards and included a noisy shower pump which wasn’t needed as the mains pressure was more than enough and with just one bathroom, gave it a miss in the end as more expense to remove and claim the storage back.
