Probably not a bad idea, but I've not seen any for sale. Local place
(Wheatcroft, a part of Nottcutts) only has straight trees and that's
the main garden place around here, I can't see B&Q having any in.

Notcutts have family trees - I had one with three grafts from them.
Unless it's container grown, it's really too late to plant one now.

All the ones I looked at were container grown.

Bare rooted are cheaper from proper nurseries like Deacons eg
http://shop.deaconsnurseryfruits.co.uk/apples-15-c.asp

That is where I got my fruit trees from.

Not if you buy now - assuming you can get one.

A bare-rooted tree planted now is unlikely to thrive and may very well
die, then you have to wait another nine months and buy another one.
