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).

thanks for that boss man, but yeah I'm not going to be that spendy until I know that the UAP-AC won't reach the corners of my flat that I think it will..
Quick picking your brains question. In the post I mentioned previously you say
Optional:ToughSwitch connects to the EdgeMAX to provide lots of gigabit ethernet
Unifi UAP can connect to the ToughSwitch if you want WiFi devices and cabled devices to be on the same physical networkDo I need lots of gigabit ethernet for home use, netflix/ps4/network music streamer?
And why would I want my wifi and cabled devices to be on the same physical network?Asking these questions as I'm wondering whether I need to spend an extra £100 on something I may not actually need or ever use?
Probably simple questions that can be answered with a bit of googling, but since you're here thought I'd take advantage of your expertise.

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..
