A recent report conducted by Glow-worm, one of the country’s leading manufacturers of heating appliances, found that buyers have encountered the strangest occurrances when viewing a house.
On the company’s website, bloggers have listed their most bizarre house viewing experiences and revealed a surprising list of off-putting tales.
Over two thirds of people said they wanted to leave a property because of unbearable temperatures, whilst other unpleasant experiences included:
- Being ‘licked to death’ by a large dog
- Football fans letting out an ‘almighty roar’ when their team scores on TV
- One of the owners being ‘in tears’ because they didn’t want to sell
- Dirty dishes and unpleasant smells

two things MAJORLY put me off buying when i go go view - cigarette ends in a dirty ashtray, and noisy neighbours making a racket next door!
outside toilets!
1. Chintzy interiors
2. Old shabby carpet
3. The smell of garlic (from whatever they cooked the night before)
4. Cheap perfume sprayed over the smell of garlic to try and cover it up.
5. Noisy kids
6. Pants drying on a hall radiator!!
