Woman views ‘extremely dirty’ three-bedroom house… but the state of the carpet was the least of her worries
A WOMAN was left stunned while viewing an "extremely dirty" three-bedroom house - but the state of the carpet was the least of her worries.
Katie Elliott was seeking a new rental property for herself and two friends in Newcastle.

The 24-year-old viewed the pad with the letting agent but soon discovered the house was not just filthy.
The current tenant was dozing on the couch, half-covered by a duvet and wearing just a T-shirt and pants.
There were vodka and beer bottles on the table and rubbish, including a cigarette packet and food wrappers, scattered across the floor.
Katie filmed the viewing on her phone and was shocked by the state of the house, but also found it hilarious.

She said: "The letting agent warned me before we went in that it was extremely dirty and said that they were really struggling with it.
"I didn't expect it to be that bad. You could tell she was embarrassed and she was talking about how ridiculous it was.
"The guy on the sofa didn't even notice us, I think he was just fast asleep to be honest.
"However, it was 12pm so it wasn't even that early in the day. It was just me who viewed it but the rest of the house was just as bad too.

"There was a guy in one of the bedrooms that was arguing with the woman about the mess not being his as he's not there that often as well."
Katie has also revealed, unsurprisingly, that she and her friends did not go for the property.
She added: "It might have been okay once all cleaned up but two of the rooms were tiny so it didn't suit us.
"The letting agent just kept saying I can only ask you to try and look past the mess.
"I'm not definitely sure as my friend booked the viewing but I think it was students living there then.
"With the area location, maybe students from Northumbria or Newcastle University."
Katie posted a video online which has now gone viral with more than 580,000 views and 46,300 likes on TikTok.
Many online were left in hysterics at the video Katie posted from her nightmare viewing.
One said: "That's got to be student accommodation."
Another added: "I'd have industrial wellies in that house."

Someone else quipped: "I'm crying at the guy passed out."
