Don’t buy Singer. It is not worth it at domestic level. Mum bought a little one and it is awful. I struggle with it, too awkward to use.
You can get a lot of machine for £100. Lots of options. Try to find an actual sewing machine shop, either a smaller haberdashery or a repairman, as they normally know what’s what.
Send me a message as I have my old Necchi 559 domestic going spare, and could box it up or maybe bring it to London soonish. Will clean it. It works fine but it has been abused since purchase (new) in around 2004/2005. It came from an actual sewing repairman, who I recently bought my industrial servo motor from.
