Internal alterations

Hi have some questions re internal alterations. It's a leasehold property I'm considering buying and I would be grateful for your advice before I commit.
The current floorplan is below. The flat has GCH. The boiler is in the kitchen. A corner of the bedroom is partitioned to store the water tanks.

Sorry I'm a new user so cannot post links, so please add "http://" to the above.
I would like to put in a condensing boilder and remove the water tanks and do the plumbing etc. After removing the water tanks, I would also like to knock down the partition walls (which are not load-bearing) to open up the bedroom. I also want to move the bedroom door to the right to where the cupboard door is at the moment, so that a big wardrobe can be built against the hallway.
I know this will require freeholder's consent, but was wondering if anyone has obtained consent for similar alterations in the past? Also, is this something feasible considering the plubming work (not a plubmer so don't know if what I'm proposing is complex)? If so, what would be the likely cost? The property is in London so the cost is likely to be on the high side.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks
