    You will be moving out, that is a set in stone fact now.
    So you can make it easy or hard, you can go with bailiffs evicting you with no notice - bailiffs give notice, court sets a date for enforcement -after a court order and court costs against you or you can simply look for somewhere to live by starting now.
    This is a fight you can not win, you have been given a S21 and if it is correct you will be leaving, if baliffs and courts are involved, you will be very lucky to get another private let, the agents do share info - public info, such as court decisions. Yes they do. And good agents and LLS know that the only way to end a tenancy is via the court. .

    Time to think and move some of the baggage out of the way of the set in stone fact you are leaving that property.

    Unless the landlord changes his mind of course....

    A properly installed immersion heater can be left on.

    If it breaks they will have to try again.

    might cost a bit in leccy.
    Correct. It will have a thermostat so that when it reaches the appropriate temperature it switches off.

    Thinks..... might it be set too low? Hence no hot water? Though that does not explain why OP gets hot water if "we leave running for 4-6 hours"

    Furthermore, it should be on a dedicated electric ring, and any electrical problem would flip off the circuit breaker, leaving the rest of the elctrics in the property working.
    The boiler upstairs is getting hot, but by the time it gets around the system its cold.
    Can you clarify whether by 'boiler' you mean emersian heater in the water tank? Or gas boiler?
    and by 'get around the system' are you talking about central heating pipes/radiators, or pipes to the hot taps?

    But I suppose the water/boiler issue is irrelevant really. Either the S21 will be enforced and OP will have to eventually leave (though not on 15th August), or Op will come to an arrangement with the LL, the boiler/water will get fixed (one way or another), and OP will stay.
