  • Not quite. You should still be able to find a Warner that requires a lot of work for that price or below, and/or a low lease.
    Not sure why you want one though - it's fairly miserable living in one if you value your privacy or any kind of occasional peace and quiet. You're at the whim of five separate households and their associated noise.

    I hear you on that, but I'm currently in an ex council flat and I've already got all those things, at least with a Warner I get my own front door. I can't see much else for £350k that has two beds around east Walthamstow/Leyton.

    Speaking of, does location make a difference? I know the Warners up by Lloyds Park are way out of my league but there seem to be quite a few round Lea Bridge Road by the Aldi...

  • Not super bothered by Warner - I do like character, but the key bit is to have a bit more privacy than I do at the moment.

    At the moment I'm in a block of 48 flats and as I'm the guy who put the residents group together, and initiated our RTM claim, I'm on the hook every time there's a problem, and I'm exhausted by it. I want to live somewhere there's no aggressive freeholder hanging over my shoulder, a place I'd be happy to grow a bit older in, somewhere a little more private than where I'm at at the moment (I'm ground floor facing a residents car park), somewhere I'd be happy to rent out should the shit hit the fan, somewhere near the Aldi with two beds and some outdoor space for around £350k.

    I do like character in a property, but that's a secondary importance - privacy and space is more important. If you've any ideas I'd love to hear them.

    @chrisbmx116 couldn't agree more - east Walthamstow has been seen as a bit of a poor cousin of Walthamstow Proper for a long time but it's really picked up over the last few years. I want to stay this side for sure.
