It looks good - A decent frame, fork has lockout, hydraulic brakes and Deore group set

Can you link me to the site where it's £325 please?

That looks decent from the specifications and should offer a basis to upgrade from as necessary. Perhaps you could be a bit cheeky and go into Velo Ecosse in Bruntsfield and ask them for a test ride to see how good it is and maybe ask them to price match.
