    Ram or storage wasn't specified in your requirements... (edited)

    I’ve also been looking at the Honor magicbook 14. Would that be a good shout

    It looks like a good fit for your use case. Apart from the minimum system specs, you also need to consider the screen for photo editing. From my quick look, it apears as though the Honor magicbook 14 can have a 100% sRGB colour gamut screen. However it probably depends a lot on the specific model you are looking at.

    Sorry meant RAM not storage.
    Usage is gonna be multitasking.
    Some photo editing.
    Watching Netflix YouTube etc
    Document editing
    Ideally I’d like it to last at least 3 years

    Storage wise 256gb is enough as I’ve got a 1tb external ssd drive available

    from the list you supplied, photo editing will place the most demand on your device. What software do you intend using for the edits? Whatever software you intend using find out what hardware requirements it needs; this will better inform your choice of laptop. Just as an example; the software could indicate CPU constraints, RAM etc. No point buying anything under or over powered. Don't be too surprised to find an extra say £50 will make a huge difference.
