Thursday 6th February 2025: Virgin Media Television has announced that Bord Gáis Energy will sponsor the second season of Help Me Buy A Home, which kicks off this Sunday at 8pm on Virgin Media Play and Virgin Media One.

The hit show aims to arm viewers with the insight they need to successfully navigate Ireland’s increasingly difficult housing market.  

At the helm, expert Buyers Agent Liz O’Kane will lend her experience to overwhelmed and frustrated house-hunters. Liz is on the side of the buyer, her mission is to get people out of endless viewings, and drive them toward that elusive goal of home-ownership. She will provide invaluable guidance and insider tips. By testing boundaries to shake out where compromises really fall, Liz will help people to see what they can (and can’t) achieve. Should a property come into play, it’ll be up to Liz to handle the nerve-wracking bidding, and secure that dream.

And she’s got backup with I’m Grand Mam’s PJ and Kevin. PJ, a newlywed looking to feather his first nest, and Kevin, London-based looking for a way home, are part of Generation Lock-out.  They are on their own quest to demystify the market by asking the burning questions to industry experts, and tracking down innovative solutions to the goal of owning a gaff.

Bord Gáis Energy, one of Ireland’s leading energy supply and service providers, has been helping Irish families turn houses into homes for over 50 years.

Olivia Fourneau, Interim Head of Sales at Virgin Media Television, said: “We are delighted to welcome Bord Gáis Energy as our new sponsor of Help Me Buy A Home. This partnership is a natural fit as viewers gain insight into the emotional and financial aspects of buying a home in modern Ireland. The synergy between the two brands enhances the sponsorship creating a seamless and meaningful connection. We are all very excited about the new series beginning this Sunday and look forward to a great brand partnership.”
