If the property were private, I'd batten out the ceilings - I.E. Lower the ceilings by around 50mm and then re-plasterboard over to provide a cavity for concealing cables/pipework etc.
With the new AMD 3 of the wiring regs coming into force, I reckon the days of running plastic trunking/conduit across ceilings will be finished due to the requirement for fireproof containment of cables in escape routes. It may well be argued that if there is only one entrance/exit from your personal space to outside (1 bed flat) then it could quite possibly be argued that you need to be able to 'escape' from each room, thus no plastic conduit or trunking allowed across any of the ceilings.
Don't quote me on this though.
