Default braking noise

Hey all. Last night my brakes started to screech whilst only braking at ,moderate force with my foot. At first, only seemed to be the front discs. So i tried to use the handbrake a little more to give them a rest. On the way home, it just got worse.

I'm assuming i just need new discs and/or pads, so if anyone could give me a rough estimate on what i should pay, or if its something else all together, it'd be much appreciated.

only reason i'm asking is that on the RWC given 1-2 months ago the brakes were listed as 75% good, and i haven't really been braking that hard. Just thought it was odd.
