Eeep, thanks for the heads up. I will avoid, in that case.
Is Titan from Screwfix just going to be terrible? After another look around, this seems like good value, and then I'd be able to use the same battery in various drills, strimmers, hedge trimmers, etc.
Or am I going down a ridiculous rabbit hole and it's better to just buy a good mower by itself and then a good hedge trimmer by itself, regardless of whether the batteries are interchangeable?

Titan is pretty much a Screwfix own brand, not the highest quality but tends to come with a 3 year guarantee (check!) they will replace without question.
I use a DeWalt hedge cutter and strimmer, largely because all my tools are by them and I have umpteen batteries, quality is excellent. I have a small petrol mower by Mountfield, from Screwfix, which has lasted 5 years so far without problems and only cost about £150.

To counter @midlife , I have the Spear & Jackson and it's been fine. Although it might be a slightly older model and came with two 36v batteries. My garden is about 100ft long and about 20ft wide and I'll get at least a couple of cuts out of a battery.

I've got the Spear and Jackson above, was really happy with it at first and worked really well.
Unfortunately seems to be made of cheese and not proper plastic, the collecting basket broke and now the height adjuster for the wheels has failed at the rear wheel.
