exhaust fan question for newbie

Only two parameters you are concerned about: CFM and
deciBells of sound. Those watts tell about as much as CFM
does not a CPU heatsink fan - nothing useful.

I don't know anything about electronics but would I be right in saying that
the higher wattage fan would run faster and therefore extract more air?

If that's the case can anyone recommend a decent wattage fan that is
reasonably silent preferably in the UK.

Yes, cubic feet per minute -- you can compare the fans handily by just
feeling how much they comparatively blow.

You can find good quality 80mm fans at either place.

No. Blade angle and size play a more important part than the motor
speed.
