Cheers for the tip, think we are aiming for a bit higher up, St James Station way, looking at one thats been down up quite nicely Saturday.

Do it!

the key consideration to look out for is extension potential. some of the houses in e11 are narrow (4 - 4.5m wide) but they go back quite a way and you can get a good sized loft conversion up there, so be sure to check that out.

I get the impression that there is a high concentration of Walthamstowers (and Leyton/Leytonstoners) 'on here'. I'm not far from St James and that area has smartened itself up immeasurably in the past few years: https://www.walthamforest.gov.uk/content/st-james-street-improvements
From there you have good access out to Walthamstow Marshes and the new Wetlands 'one of London’s largest open spaces': http://www.guardian-series.co.uk/NEWS/15587995.After_years_in_the_making__Walthamstow_Wetlands_opens_to_the_public_next_week/

Lea Bridge Road seems to be suddenly on a tear - a new road layout is being finished, new retail and quite a large residential development at Lea Bridge Station is underway.
I moved to E17 in 2013 just before things started going hyper ballistic and some of it is completely unrecognisable - the development with the cinema and restaurants near the Tube Station wasn't there, lots of pubs were shutting down, mini-holland wasn't a thing. It still has its problems with rubbish dumping and litter and the traffic/pollution and parking situation is a problem, but in that time it's only really become a much better place to live and spend time, especially since starting a family - it must be the epicentre of fertility for London.

you may be timing a move there well. I've noticed prices have softened slightly of late. you can get a good 2 bed house with garden in central Walthamstow for 475 now. they used to be 500 plus a year ago...
if you want something slightly bigger then look in E11 - a fair enough house has come up in my road for 500 just off cann hall road. new bathroom and kitchen. was on for 550 not so long ago. it'll sell very quickly at 500 - this one http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-61770232.html
