I don't live in the U.K. so I can't help you with price but I'll try to answer your other question.
The Hasselblad will be no magic bullet to help your photographs. If you saw a bunch of photographs mixed together which were shot with your Bronica and a Hasselblad you would not be able to tell me which photographs were shot with which camera.
If fit and finish are important to you then the Hasselblad is a much nicer camera and may be worth the extra money to you. It's kind of like comparing a Toyota to a Lexus. Both are fine cars and will certainly get you to your destination but the Lexus is a bit nicer!
Bronica is no longer being made but Koh's camera in New York still services them. I don't know what's available in the U.K. Of course Hasselblad still services their cameras.
For what it's worth I have owned Bronica S2a, EC, and ETRsi cameras. I now own a Hasselblad 500cm.
Actually Jimmy at Koh's has retired from servicing cameras.
The site refers you to Frank Marshman for service but the will still sell you parts.

Thanks for all the info guys,
Went to have a look at the camera yesterday and unfortunately the lens thread on the camera body was damaged, apart from that it was immaculate. If they get it repaired i'll have another look and maybe purchase. Regardless I think i'll sell my SQA and maybe keep an eye out for any bargains
I am sorry to hear that the camera was damaged, it is most important that the lens and image plane are correctly aligned to get the best from the camera. You might consider one of the other EL# models as the ELD only gives you an advantage if you are working digitally and the ELD models sell for a higher price because of the additional connections. The money you save there could be used to better or more optics.
