Recommend a diesel generator.

About 20 KVA, for domestic and home business standby use.  New preferred, but good, low hours used considered.

Weatherproof enclosure not needed as to be installed in a purpose built brick outbuilding.

Push button electric start required, not auto start.

Reliability, and user serviceable at least for minor services, are the most important features.

    Only if we can store the fuel for it.  No use for folks in flats.

    That depends. There are small  suitcase generators that are very quiet and compact. Or, just connect up your car's 12 Volt system and run a long lead into the house or flat  for limited 12 Volt emergency equipment. I have a small petrol generator in the garage and an overhead cable to my flat.
