> UK homes are pretty small, and going to a heat pump system means going back to hot water storage

Why not a tankless water heater? They are quite compact, and can be powered by gas or electricity. Are they just not really a thing in the UK?

An electric heater is up to 100% efficient, the idea is to go beyond that with a heat pump — 200%, 300% or more.
