Are there any apps to buy and sell spare space, e.g. in your garage, or basement?

I've heard of a couple of startups in London giving that a go. The same person who I was discussing that also told me that they had problems with illegal goods and potential insurance voiding - in case of fire/pests home insurance wouldn't pay for the damages because that would be considered running a business from your property which is likely not covered by your average house insurance .

Edit: some UK based startups in the area http://ww.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/business-38211628
