Housing problems have shot up in the three months to the end of September, according to Citizens Advice and homelessness charities.

Citizens Advice bureaux across England and Wales dealt with 14% more housing problems from July to September compared with the same period last year. The overall rise in housing problems was fuelled by increases in inquiries about homelessness, both actual and threatened, up 22% to 24,720 compared to 20,289 in the same quarter in 2009.
