The message
from "Si" contains these words:

its a small part time gardening business only 3 days a week. mower
will not
be going all day as i will be doing hedge cutting, tidying borders,
sweeping
paths etc too

Nobody suggested it would be "going all day". However, it will
certainly be used far more often and in more varied and less ideal
conditions than a normal domestic owner would which means abnormal wear
and tear. If you had any experience of such work you would know that.
Many of the people advising you here DO have experience of contract work
and the comparison between domestic machines and commercial ones.

So it has to be petrol and will mainly be medium sized lawns, wanted
something new so i have the 12 month warranty

You'll find a warranty for domestic models excludes commercial use.
You may try to conceal that usage, but it will be obvious to any repair
shop that it's had an unusual amount of wear and tear for its age.

IMHO, if you buy a cheap domestic machine for commercial use (I'm
afraid that price range IS the cheap end of the petrol lawnmower market)
you're throwing money down the drain. Worse, as soon as the first
breakdown, you'll be letting down clients and losing their custom.
