Is moving the kitchen to the living room possible?

Please see image of layout attached.

I am buying a ground floor flat and want to move the kitchen into the reception room. The waste pipes from sink, dishwasher and washing machine would have to potentially run from the living room to the bathroom where the drains are, is this possible?

I was thinking to put the kitchen to the right as you walk into the reception room, in an L-shape.

Would I be able to run waste pipes all the way to the bathroom? I know vents can be an issue and slope of pipes.

Probably, what are the floors? Suspended timber or concrete? Is there a basement?

Concrete I think

Well its probably doable but you will have to investigate the level (invert) of the existing soil pipe in the bathroom. Obviously you are into digging up the concrete so pretty messy.
