    We are facing two issues with dishwasher installation

    Issue 1 dishwasher is not directly next to the sink. There is a corner cabinet in between. Position is shown as per picture.

    Issue 2 the water pipe is connected to the wall and it is about half metre off the ground...Also as shown on the picture. Would it have any issues with the water flow from the dishwasher?

    Does anyone have any suggestions on the installation?

    Get a plumber to sort it out properly.

    By 'water pipe' do you mean the drain pipe? If so, it's pretty common to have it above the floor and going through the wall.

    Might be a bit of a PITA, how about putting the dishwasher in the corner facing the dining area? It makes use of an otherwise unusable cupboard.

    Dishwashers have pumps, they do all the work.

    Read dishwasher specifications regarding max distances. Consult plumber too.

    Good thoughts but the other side of the dishwasher is the dinning area so no good for installation.
