Two-bed house goes under hammer for £99,000 - even though it's full of rubbish

A two-bedroom house full of festering piles of litter is expected to fetch an impressive £99,000 at auction.

The squalid pad, in trendy Glasgow, is covered with weeds with what appears to be mould on some walls and gaping holes in the ceiling.

Heaps of clothes, trash and trinkets blot out the floor in what looks like a living room area.

Every surface in the kitchen and bathroom is likewise covered in debris - and the sink and bath are brimming with soiled toiletries.

Despite its challenges, it is listed as an "exciting" fixer upper that just needs some love.

In promotional photos on Rightmove, the front door is wide open and further horror lies within.

One shocking snap shows collapsed wooden beams from the ceiling strewn across what appears to be a bed.

A second bedroom still has posters on the wall, while the bed is unmade with no sheets on it.

Commenting on the listing, Louise Diana quipped: "I'd at least like a ceiling for £99,000."

Auctioneer National Property states: "The house requires a full refurbishment and, due to the condition, is currently uninhabitable, non mortgageable and therefore a cash buy only, sold as seen, and unsafe for viewings."

The dilapidated property also comes with overgrown front, side and rear gardens.

But the firm insists the property is a "wonderful development opportunity" in a highly sought after area for a canny buyer.

It adds: "Recent sales of similarly sized properties nearby in good condition have reached superb prices.

"The house requires a complete refurbishment and is priced competitively to sell hence cash buy only."

The auctioneer also suggests a buyer could seek planning permission for a rear extension and to develop the loft.

The online auction ends on January 27.
