Need to replace a window latch/lock

I’m not really sure what I should be looking for so hoping someone can help.
The window lock mechanism in our bathroom window has given up, turning the lever has no effect on the lock movement and the window can be opened by just pushing it open regardless of whether it’s locked or not.

Here’s some pics of what I’m talking about -

Does anyone know if I can buy this whole unit to replace it, and where from?

Ah awesome, thanks @topgun06 I’ll give that a go

Meant to ask @topgun06 do you know if I would need a left or a right handed one?

Can’t get it out as there’s plastic strips with metal rods down the inside of the window essentially locking it in, which I need to remove. Might be easier to remove the whole window in order to get at it!

Yup I can remove the handle fine, it’s the mechanism inside that’s a pain to remove

Well I took a punt on the left hand one and it came today. Managed to remove everything and put the new mechanism in, was a bit fiddly in places but all sorted and it’s much better, had even helped close the window tighter so just in time for the cold weather!
Thank you guys for your help
