Yeah we have been looking around there as well. E11 pretty much on par with E17 though, if not more expensive - especially the closer you get to Leytonstone station and Bushwood. We've seen a couple of places closer to Forest Gate that we quite like, but our issue is that houses there are cheaper than they would be in E17, but not quite cheap enough for us, unless they're teeny and then we'd rather just have a flat. And there aren't as many flats there as in E17.

The one we made the offer on pre-Covid was listed on the Thursday for 400k OIEO, we viewed on Saturday (with a constant stream of other people) and offered 400k, it sold on Monday morning for 450k+. It was nice, but not that nice...
Asking the question because we're now in a position to start looking again, with an offer our current place. But I don't want to waste time viewing properties that are listed within budget, but will realistically end up selling for more than we can afford. If that makes sense.
