Buy a second hand actual BMXs, the linked ones are not really BMX bikes more toy/kids bikes made to look the same. They are heavy/weak/dangerous.
For that budget you are looking at second hand Haro, GT, Redline, Mongoose.
This is sold but something along the lines of this is a much better bike than the stuff from Argos/Smyths.

The Argos/Smyths ones are the Tata Nanos of BMX the names I mentioned are the Ford/Hyundai level.
If you find ones that look right you're welcome to PM me for advice generally if it has big fat tubes and a big chainring it's rubbish. Thinner tubes small chainring and low seat are the things to look for.
