Virgin Media Television said that casting is now open for a brand-new series of Help Me Buy a Home, returning soon to Virgin Media PLAY and Virgin Media One. 
The hit series is on the lookout for Kildare people who are navigating the often-confusing world of buying a home.
Whether you’re mortgage-approved and raring to go, knee-deep in paperwork, or staring at Daft.ie wondering “where do I even begin?” - this is your chance to get expert help. 
 
Buyer’s Agent Liz O’Kane (above) is back and ready to guide hopeful buyers through the twists and turns of the home-buying journey.
From exploring new locations to weighing up fixer-uppers versus shiny new builds, Liz helps participants see possibilities they might never have considered while showing them how to make smart, confident decisions along the way.
On a mission to demystify the process, Liz breaks everything down in plain English – from finding the right property to tackling surveys, solicitor fees, and the dreaded mountain of paperwork. 
 
Fan favourites PJ and Kevin (above) from ‘I’m Grand Mam’ are also returning, bringing their trademark Corkonian humour and no-nonsense approach to the series. Representing those who feel locked out of the housing market, the duo won’t be afraid to ask the burning questions people want answers to – and they won’t be holding back! 
Blending powerful human-interest stories with expert insight, Help Me Buy a Home offers practical pathways to homeownership and a clearer understanding of the Irish housing market. The series also features easy-to-follow explainers on government schemes and the real-life steps involved in buying a home. 
How to Get Involved 
If you’d like Liz O’Kane by your side for one of life’s biggest journeys, get in touch with Animo TV at: Home@animotv.ie  
Your dream home might be closer than you think!
