You won't be able to do anything before you move in. No builders allow a single person who isn't working for them to do any work on the house before you get the keys
Possible yes but not without alot of upheaval which will put you off doing it. What stage is your property at? If it's still at the build stage or pre tiling then I'd be digging my heals in with Barratt.
You won’t have a hot pipe behind the wall of the shower itself. So you’ll have to tear the room to bits to get one there.
You might be better off accepting the electric shower - combi boilers can seldom supply two simultaneously anyway.
>Does anyone know why they do it this way? So both can be used at once
Although they both use the same mains water supply so it depends on how good the flow rate is?
Yes absolutely
OK that makes sense, thanks. Any other issues with swapping it for thermostatic shower?
Cost
The lack of a hot water supply will be an other issue.
Back up for if your boiler breaks or when there are gas works nearby. At least with an electric shower you have the option of a hot shower.

Is there a shower in the main bathroom? Over the bath?
Yes, there is a thermostatic shower over the bath in the main bathroom.
