I think it was Monkstown Farm rather than Rathfarnham that they mentioned - Monkstown farm would be the "rough" part of Monkstown. The average price of a house there is about 550k - which is about twice what they could afford on their own!!!!!!!!!

Oops!
Still, they were hilarious - why would the young one take it seriously about buying? She was only 22!!
Seriously, this program appears to be a bit of a propaganda machine - the "buy now or you'll never be able to afford" mantra that gets bandied around. At the age of both of those girls, renting was by far and away the most sensible way to go. 2 Choices available in the show, buy or forever stay at home. I know the point of the show is about buying property, but if living closer to their parents etc is their priority, maybe renting shouldve been touted as an option.
They could have used the show as a publicity tool to highlight how much cheaper it currently is to rent than to actually buy in certain areas. But I guess it depends on what the producer's / backers motives are.
I wonder was it one of those girls on here recently enquiring about the Sandyford View scheme?? :;
In fairness to the presenter, he did actually say to them that if given the choice, he'd rent before living at home. I think he did an Ok job given his remit & was not the gung-ho-property-bull I was expecting. He was obviously unimpressed with the apartment in Sandyford the girls ended up with, in comparison to the show apartment that they had based their purchaase on.mollser said:maybe renting shouldve been touted as an option.

I dont see the problem with buying a house at 22! I bought a house last year when I was 22 without the help of mummy and daddy
