    People who bought in 2008 and have been paying interest on houses that are worth less than they paid would disagree.

    I think you missed the irony...

    I suspect all that furniture might be rented.

    I notice that the kitchen/living-space is just one room. I can't understand why, if people are willing and able to pay those sorts of prices, they would want to be cooking, eating and entertaining guests all in the same room. I think it's horrible.

    Seriously - how much time was saved by leaving out the 'ou' in doubled. Unless there is a limit on the title thread that I am unaware of...

    that's why I think it's not really a 3 bed flat - less than 900 sq. feet, too.

    I agree. I rented a flat in Dublin with this arrangement and thought it was horrible.

    I wouldn't like it. I want to be able to chill in the living room, and put the washing machine on / leave all the plates in the sink until later without noisy machines running or unwashed crockery giving me the evil eye.

    Unless he/she has been employing the same irony in every post on this forum, then there was none. Thery are deadly serious.
