new boiler condensate

[londoon]

Not sure if I have the right forum but looking as a homeowner for a bit of advice.
Having a new combi installed, old boiler no condensate, got some quotes. One quote will remove kitchen units and under the counter fridge put in condensate pipe run for 8 ft about the through wall to outside drain and replace units. Second quote install condensate pipe run in void space under units with a condensate pump installed. Is one a better choice than the other or just a different approach? otherwise quotes similar. To the novice, no pump means one less thing to go wrong. Not sure which to choose. SE England based so limited freezing temps.
thanking you.

Gravity type might be better than a pump imo, as you say, one less thing to go wrong. Yes just one way different from the other.

Condensate pump is always a last resort for me.

Yep, just something else to go wrong and need replacing.

A too obvious question if you're considering a condensate pump but I will ask, are there any waste outlets from sink or washing machine nearby? I've managed to work wonders with flexible condensate pipe in the past.

Thanks for useful replies, good to hear opinions of experts, so confirmed my thoughts.
gmartine - no, no other option for the outlet without a massive upheaval.
