Dawn and Billy rent Holdgate

In Tuesday’s episode, Dawn and Billy put their plans into action after deciding to move out of Home Farm. Following plenty of drama with Rose, Will and Kim, Dawn decided she wanted to leave the home.

As a result, she and Billy will now be renting Holdgate from Jai. He revealed the property was partly-furnished and ready immediately for the couple and their kids to move into. A quick turnaround then?!

Dawn handed over the signed contract along with a brown envelope containing a WHOPPING £10,000 in cash, stating this would cover four months worth of rent. This means it costs £2,500 per month to live at Holdgate before bills?! Wowzers!

Emmerdale fans react to village rent prices

Emmerdale fans were left shocked by Jai’s rental price for Holdgate Farm, with many surprised to learn it would cost over £2,000 per month to live in the village – before any other bills are added. Taking to social media, dozens of soap viewers pointed out how extortionate the price seemed, especially considering the property is located in a small village.

“£10k for 4 months rent? Meaning £2500 a month for rent! In a village, not a big city nor is it a mansion,” one person wrote on X, while another said: “10k for 4 months rent?”

A third Emmerdale fan added: “Did Dawn just give Jai 10 grand and say that’s 4 months rent?” Meanwhile, a final fan said: “£2,500 a month to live beside the Dingles.”
