seeing as I'll be changing broadband supplier think I might purchase something to secure the future and getting the whole ubiquiti shebang seems like a no brainer, also hope it goes a long way to solving the wifi issues in my flat as well..

Just getting the Unifi UAP-AC-LITE will make the biggest difference and it's pretty affordable and will survive many ISP and router changes.
You can always get a second access point, but you will have to run cable for it and do the setup dance yourself.
If you're feeling spendy I'd consider the Ubiquiti Amplifi solution now too:

I recommended that to someone living in a cottage and whose walls made WiFi so bad that the they ended up trying to install 5 different WiFi access points. It was fully replaced by this solution and it worked really well (key point: they didn't need my help setting it up).

I bought a Ubiquiti UniFi UAP-AC-LITE access point based on the advice @Velocio gave and it's amazing. Rock solid Wi-Fi, no problem with a dozen things being connected to it. This one:

I didn't bother getting a UniFi router, I'm just using my ISP's. Wi-Fi is super fast, totally reliable and there's a good signal all around our flat as well as in it. Wouldn't go back...
