Bafang seems to be what people install, plenty of examples in this thread.
Agree that 500 is very unlikely to get you an e bike that works.
Is swapfiets in London? It's a long term rental thing and their ebikes is what almost all delivery riders use in Berlin. -
I think a 250W bafang mid drive kit plus a battery would cost you about £600
Put it on an old mountain bike and you'll be golden. It's pretty straightforward to install.

Don't think you'll have much luck finding and ebike for that price second hand, there'll be some ropey DIY deliveroo bikes on there for that mark.
Would be better off putting the £500 to converting yourself. For £600 you can do a decent conversion.
