I don't know what your options are there, but here in
Australia I have a gas "instant" system that heats the
water as it flows through. A disadvantage is that there is
a minimum flow rate, under which the gas has to cut out. So
I can no longer run a tap with a tiny amount of hot to mix
with the cold to get a particular temperature: I have to
run it at a high rate. The make is Rinnai for what it's
worth.

These things are sometimes called Geyser heaters for
some reason. I first encountered one in England many years
ago. I tried to take a shower... Either scalding or
freezing, no in between. I wound up taking a bath but had to
run the hot and cold water separately because the
bath/shower had a mixing faucet. As soon as the back
pressure from the cold water hit the geyser it stopped
heating. UGH. I understand this thing was probably not
adjusted right and plenty of folks have satisfactory
non-storage heaters. They are actually quite economical
especially if you don't use a lot of hot water because you
are not paying for keeping a tank full of water hot all the
time.
BTW the stove (cooker) had a salamander. For those not
cognizant this is a sort of broiler in a across the top of
the stove. Very useful for making toast and frying bacon,
etc. I miss that.
