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
