Good bits in a mediocre drill will get you much further than mediocre bits in the best drill in the world.
Basically it "hammers" the drill bit into the material at the same time as drilling.
For occasional use such as you decsribe you'll be fine with the usual Black & Decker / Bosch / Makita rechargeable stuff.
Have a look at Screwfix and Axminster Tools - they quite often have deals on. I got a nice Bosch set for £65 from Axminster, power-driver and hammer drill in a case.

The main choice you have is Batt or mains.
Thr only thing I'd say is steer clear of the Own Brand drills from the DIY stores.
One like this actually.

I bought a Hitachi which has all the above for £100 (including 2 Lithium batteries) and its still going strong.
If you go cordless, definitely get something with two batteries, Sod's law says the battery will always die at a crucial moment.
I'd prefer a cordless drill so I'm not arseing around with leads in which case I'll have a spare, charged, battery handy.
Cheers for the tips guys, I'm going to check out the linkage that's been offered

I'd get an impact driver: https://www.howetools.co.uk/makita-td0101f-240v-impact-driver-6-5mm-hex
then a decent sized drill.
Drill for holes, impact driver for screws.
The inner skin, however, is made from blockwork the texture and hardness of Cadbury's Wispa. I cut a recess for a dimmer switch pattress box in ten minutes with a cordless drill and an old, blunt wood chisel. Go figure.
I have a full-sized SDS mains drill; it cuts slower than the cordless 18v SDS Bosch with the same bit, and the Bosch is smaller and lighter. The Bosch did 30-odd holes in brick and concrete (and it's 50s brick and concrete which is like granite) on a single battery, with charge remaining.

Marvellous bit of kit.
In seriousness, the way I see it is cheap corded drill + minor inconvenience = more money for overdrive boxes and beer.
