A filthy, rubbish-strewn house is up for auction this week. The price of the three bedroom terraced home has been valued at £100,000.
Filled with hundreds of old carrier bags stuffed with rubbish, photos of the home in Keighley, West Yorkshire, saw the living room and kitchen areas strewn with old appliances, clothes and an old suitcase.
In one bedroom rubbish can be seen piled up almost as high as the window frame.
The council-owned property, purchased by Bradford Council via a compulsory purchase order, has been put for auction in its current state and without being cleaned up. Rightmove described the property as having potential to make a ‘pleasant family home.’
The advert reads: “A renovation project comprising a semi-detached dwelling sold with vacant possession and requiring a full scheme of renovation. The property is sold as seen and contains a large amount of rubbish.

“Arranged over two storeys, the property offers three bedrooms and also benefits from gardens to the front and rear and a rear garage, as well as its sought-after location. Once renovated, the property would make a pleasant family home.”
Several people have taken to social media to comment on the property, with one person saying the previous tenant should be charged for the rubbish.
One person joked: “Is that one of the council owned skips their closing down?”
Another person commented: “Councils should make tenants to pay rubbish they leave behind, they know who they are, don’t waste taxpayer’s money.”
