Buying first house under £300K

Hi there,
After years of renting we are finally looking for a house to buy. So being FTBs, we really need a second opinion.
The property will only be for myself and my partner and will need to commute into London - Shoreditch area (Liverpool St / Shoreditch High Street) daily with a max journey time 1h 30min. In terms of a season ticket, we don't want to spend more than £300 - £350 per month.
We are looking for a 2-bed house with a garden to be situated within a safe area and close to public transport.
Many thanks in advance for all your help

you may not find a house that ticks all your boxes, especially at that price, you will need to compromise, happy hunting"It is prudent when shopping for something important, not to limit yourself to Pound land/Estate Agents"

There's a big estate of ex council properties in Barking/Dagenham & you might be lucky enough to find a house there for your price. I don't hold out much hope though. You might be better to include flats in your search to increase your chances of finding a 2 bed property for under £300k.
I don't live in that part of the world, but even a 2 bed flat in my area of greater London tends to be between £375k-£450k.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0
