Hello I am looking into buying a ground floor flat in W. London, but only if I can relocate a kitchen from the back (room A) to front of the building (room B). There are no visible waste pipes at the front or side of the house. Actually , my situation is very similar to this old post below, but in my case it is a semi, so a waste pipe can run outside. However, the run to the red X will be 9 metres + 90 degrees bend + 4 metres. Do you think that it is mad? How much fall will I need?
I researched how to increase the fall, does using a 10cm taller custom sink cabinet and compact integrated dishwasher at higher level (Fisher & Paykel Drawer or Neff S66M63N1GB) make sense? Also, thinking Sanivite, hmmm.
Please, be patient with my terminology, I only developed 3 properties in the past. I was lucky with layouts and never had to move plumbing, just updated fixtures. I can't bring professional plumber to the property and have to make a decision in two days. Any ideas or criticism will be humbly appreciated! Tony
PS Tried to add link to the old similar post, but it didn't work. It's called "Moving a Kitchen from One End of a flat to the other..."

I 'd say it's not for you...I assume you want to flip this flat into 3 bedrooms by converting what appears to be a narrow poorly lit store room into a kitchen? Anything is possible with enough money but if B is barely 1.5m wide(enough room for units on one side only by the looks of it)I'd want to consult an architect as you have potentially a lot of other space there that could possibly be reconfigured given more time.

Only fit a pump such as the Sanivite when you have no other option, research their limits and keep inside the limits with a safety buffer (ie you don`t drive with the rev counter in the red do you!). Tenants abuse them so research for service engineers and costs before deciding.
