When we bought we did a spreadsheet with ‘average’ houses in different areas to see what the price diff was between diff zones of Leyton and Walthamstow.
I think generally e17, closer to the tube was 100k more than for a similar property in e10, (on the LBR/church Rd corner of the ‘golden triangle’ mentioned upthread) but I suspect that might have narrowed over the last two years.
With £27,500 stamp duty on an 800k house and renovating at current prices, I suspect you will need to do more than cross LBR to end up with a significantly lower mortgage, unless you are looking to downsize as well.

Thanks both, will add survey to list.
If we go straight from place a to place b, I'll likely stick with current lender so won't need a mortgage broker. If we do a rental in the middle then could be useful.
@frankohara if we get towards needing surveyor and solicitor, I'll DM re recommendations.
At the moment it's firmly in the proof of concept stage and I have to say, the concept isn't quite there yet based on what I can find on rightmove etc.
