Does any state organisation regulate Myhome.ie, Daft.ie and the other property sites?

    If a business wants to organise itself on the Islamic calendar, I have no issues with it

    So what if it hasn't been taught in schools since 1970, I first went to school well past 1970 and I know it. I had to because it is still used by many today.

    Though it does get a bit ridiculous when you hear lads ordering 4.8m lengths of 2 by 1 rough in the builders providers,

    Yeah I'd agree that it's not up to the websites to police this.

    But more generally I think regulations could he put in place to make advertising second hand property more transparent.

    Estate agents really do thrive on providing the absolute bare minimum level of information to buyers, many of whom, let's face it, have no idea what they're doing in buying their first property.

    Given the huge sums of money involved I think there's an argument for the state to step in and regulate the whole process more, saying buyer beware is just the usual business of the state lazily trusting "the market" to do its job for it.

    Disagree with this. Buying a house is probably the biggest and most important purchase of your life. You have the benefit of YOUR surveyor and YOUR solicitor to advise you, and you get to view the property, multiple times if you want to, before purchase. Apart from the basic information, I’m not sure why you would need to rely on what an EA tells you. They work for the seller, not you, why would you want their opinion on the property or anything other than an outline description?
