Good read. I really don't know how young people are supposed to get on the property ladder these days. Shocking to see the mortgages that they are forced to take out.

A lot of it depends on where you want to live. We're in Rural North Cork and there are some nice affordable older houses around that aren't overpriced. Most people seem to want to live in the towns and cities 'cos of the lack of transport, and those prices are astronomical.
My husband looked into an estate agents window today and saw two similar houses, located in the same area with a price difference of E200,000. How? God knows who values houses, but there seems to be no sense to it.
