Laminate or engineered wood? Where is the cheapest place to buy ?

Hello everyone, I am almost in the process of completing the purchase of my first house. I am intending to get the floorings do bathroom tiling done before moving in. My budget for engineered wood floor is around 26£ per sq.m.

Would it be possible to get good quality engineered woods at that price or am I better off sticking to laminate flooring ? Also please advise if it's worth spending more for wood rather than laminate with 2 kids in the house.

Pls advise.

    No, however you will get either laminate (very 00's) or LVT flooring, which looks and feels like wood without the hassle.
