Ha, no worries, I think you may have a point, I'm going to see it but I have concerns over the size and the cost of repayments leaving us with little free money.
I saw a house really close to the one you linked to, it may have been on for less, but that area is hellish, a rats nest of estates which I would not feel comfortable living near. After checking the place out with my folks we passed a shrine to some murder victim, noped the hell out of there...
TBF there have been 4 stabbings outside my flat in the last couple of years so it happens anywhere, but still...
I'm thinking Walthamstow may be the better option as its more residential and more chilled out. I'm on the bit of Grove road next to the park and the amount of sirens is crazy, plus the area is getting more and more popular its becoming London Fields Mk2.
I also looked at a place on Old Ford facing the park, 2 bed weird flat, the guys who owned it said they bought it for their mum about 30 years ago for 40k... they were asking a fair bit more than that.
