I have been running my system like this for the past 4 years, no problem. Changing boiler this year though as the existing one is 15 years old.
You sure your system isn't open vented?

you do realise the air will eventually move / get dispersed

Positive!
This used to be used as a short term fix to get people through the weekend on a Friday evening. Not a long term fixAs far as a new expansion vessel goes, there is an alternative. You can drain the system and after refilling, partially bleed one radiator, preferably in a room you don't use much. This will act as an expansion vessel. As the pressure relief valve is a purely mechanical device I suggest yo dismantle it, give it a good clean and retest.
I'd have thought it pretty tight, tho' there's a chance (not sure of the size of vessel you need.)
What's under the microwave space - is there a kitchen base unit? If so, I'd have thought it could go in there.
Could you post a further-back picture to show what's around the boiler?
The pressure is always droppingSorry if someone has already said but how has the bloke come to the conclusion you need a new vessel? Leaking water? Cant be recharged? Pressure always dropping?
I am the owner, the first time renting the house and the tenant should be moving in in a couple of weeksJust gone through your first post you mention the plumber who was doing a Gas Safety check is this a Rented property ? are you the tenant ? or the owner ?
Has he tried recharging the vessel? Renewed prv? Still dropping? Potential central heating pipework leak?The pressure is always dropping
