I've been looking at Forest Gate, Leyton, Leytonstone and Wanstead. Getting a freehold house for the price of a 2 bed flat in hackney is totally doable. What isn't however is pursuading the missus to move. Fucking impossible in fact. They just can't see the potential or the long term investment. She's got a point though, leaving an area you love just for a slightly bigger place with a garden and fuck all else to do isn't always the best lifestyle option.
