Most people are using a track saw instead of a table saw on site these days. I use a table saw for smaller trim work and it's useful but not in the top few tools for flooring.
Hopefully you are putting the floorboards down with the skirting off, in which case ripping the edge boards down with a jigsaw or track saw works well enough as the cut edge is not exposed.

I was thinking a table saw would be the best single main tool, plus a jigsaw or multitool for cutting weird shapes. If buying several then a mitre saw for cross cuts plus table saw for rip cuts would probably be best, but trying to be as budget conscious as possible (hence doing it myself rather than must paying a professional).
