Started to begin our FTB journey a little more seriously including a reccy of Walthamstow, was nice enough during the day and the vibe is probably down our street. Need to do some more of the surrounding areas (Leyton, Leytonstone etc) in the not too distant future...
But fuck me it feels bleak when just casually browsing Rightmove/Zoopla etc - we are restricted by what we can do with our LISA budget (£450k max), and feel like we're in a pretty strong position with around a 20% deposit (don't have AIPs or anything yet), but some of the 2 bed flats are just...yuck
If you're looking in those areas check out Forest Gate, you'll get a lot more for your money and you'll be on the liz line. Plus it's easy enough to get to Leyton and Leytonstone from there when you want.
