Housing Crisis!

OK, I'm living at university with all my friends and it's great but there's just one problem. In a few months we're expected to find our own places to live, be it flats or houses or a cardboard box, after next June we are well and truly on our own. Scary!

Now because I'm a journalist I watch the news quite a lot and it seems that there’s been a lot of talk recently about a crash in house prices and how it will affect the economy.

So I know that this is going to sound really selfish but I just wish this price crash would hurry up so that I could afford a nice house instead of some of the 'budget' properties that I've been looking at. Take this morning, I got up extra early go and view a 'spacious three double bedroom mid-terrace' house with my friends, we were quite excited because it looked so lovely on the picture and seemed to have everything. How wrong were we?? There were several problems, including:

No parking. NONE!

Three 'double bedrooms' was two and a hamster cage

The smallest kitchen in the world!

LOW ceilings

As you might be able to tell I’m a bit frustrated because I thought we’d stuck gold this morning, never mind. We’ll just have to keep looking!
