    Houses worth their weight in coffee beans (Housing Crisis UK)

    A growing population and a shortage of housing, an easy issue to solve if it wasn't diluted by greedy landlords, dodgy contractors and nonsensical government policy. Maybe your grandparents could hold fire on that caravan they've never wanted so they can swing a deposit your way, or maybe you should leave Starbucks behind and invest in something that will really fill your cup. Whether you're selling your organs on the black market to cover your house shares rent or considering a premature claim on your parents life insurance, the UK housing market has you covered, and in the midst of all this madness Jamie and Rob can only ask - do you want to rent out our sheds so we can pay our electricity bills?
