What they really mean: Ever find yourself chillaxing in your sitting room and thinking, “Ugh, I wish this place had a fridge, toilet and bed!” Well, you’re in luck.
2. What they say: “Located 10 minutes from Dublin City Centre”
What they really mean: Actually, there’s a pay-as-you-go electricity meter, storage heating that we’ll pretend works out cheaper in the long run and a washing machine from 2001 that you share with eight other people.

5. What they say: “Beautifully maintained period building!”
What they really mean: Your last eighteen payslips, the deeds to your father’s land, all your primary school reports, a recommendation signed by Michael D. Higgins, a baby deer’s eyelash and a vial of your blood required.
What they really mean: 32 people will be queuing up outside this house on July 4th with references and their life savings in tow. You probably will not get it in the end and will curse yourself for taking the time off work to come. Best of luck!

4. What they say: “All modcons included.”

7. What they say: “References required”

What they really mean: 32 people will be queuing up outside this house on July 4th with references and their life savings in tow. You probably will not get it in the end and will curse yourself for taking the time off work to come. Best of luck!
