Stair bannister

Hi all,
I am about to let my first property through an agent, however, the agent has pointed out that it would be better if the property had a bannister as on one side it has a hand rail, but the other side is open (safer for kids etc).
The bannister would need to start approx half way down a regular flight of stairs.
My question is i would LIKE a spindle type bannister, but due to costs etc i may only be able to afford the cheapest alternative (blocked in, or "ranch fence" style bannister.
Could someone advise me what costs i am looking at for a joiner to do the work.
PS Also what types of bannister are there so i at least give the impression i know a little about what i am talking about!!!

I am a girlie (albeit an ageing one) so I know nuffink about DIY.
BUT I have seen bannisters and risers for sale in DIY stores - which makes me think
a) you could probably DIY without a joiner (it looks as if the pieces more or less slot together)
b) you could have a look to see what types there are (maybe even online?)
Good luck, and forgive me if I am talking rubbish
