let s say I have 250 cm available for my kitchen and the wall drain hole is at 125 cm from the wall, half way. Can i mount the sink away from the wall drain hole say at 70 cm from the wall and have a drain pipe going from the location of the sink to the wall connection? or is it too far for correct draining of my sink?
Can I mount the sink 50 cm away from the wall drain hole

Get a drain cleaning water bladder of appropriate size for your pipe. They should have them in the UK. They are readily available in the US and Canada. Hook it up to a garden hose. Take off your kitchen sink's trap (the U pipe) and feed it as far as you can into the drain pipe. Turn on the water to the garden hose, and it will likely clear out whatever you have in there.
While they are not the most correct way to alleviate your problem, check your favorite home center/big box store for a "flexible tail piece extension". The ideal method would be to remove and realign your current drain. While the flexible drains work they are more prone to clogging due to the accordion like walls of the pipe.

Moving the Sink further out from a wall would be easy and not present any problems for the drain. Moving to the side may require an additional elbow. If the drain is properly sized and vented it should work in both cases. Maintaining a slope on the longer horizontal line will improve performance and reduce the possibility of solids collecting and causing problems.
