Woman viewing house finds man asleep on sofa surrounded by empty beer bottles

A woman's house viewing has left thousands in stitches over signs from a party the night before.

Katie Elliott was being shown round the three-bed pad in search for a new place to live with her two friends - but was shocked to find one of the current residents still sleeping on a sofa surrounded by booze.

The mess in the living room was the least of Katie's concerns as the estate agent breezed through to the next room, likely mortified about the oblivious tenant.

Half covered by a duvet as he snoozed on one of the sofas, the tenant was surrounded by vodka and beer bottles while the filthy room was strewn with fag packets and food wrappers.

Ms Elliott was filming the tour of the home in Newcastle to show house mates, but ended up sharing the footage on TikTok after seeing the funny side.

“The letting agent warned me before we went in that it was extremely dirty and said that they were really struggling with it,” said Katie, 24.

“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.”

She added: “It 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.”

Unsurprisingly, Katie and her pals didn't opt for the house.

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 of the viewing which has now gone viral with over 580,000 views and 46,300 likes on TikTok.

Many online were left in hysterics at the video Katie posted from her nightmare viewing.

Molly Krenz said: “That’s got to be student accommodation.”

Danny Baker added: “I’d have industrial wellies in that house.”

Hannah Shaida said: “You’re having a laugh here.”

Kate Green remarked: “The wheeze I let out when I saw the corpse on the sofa.”

Abigail joked: “The reason I was not getting a house share at uni.”

Lewis added: “Im crying at the guy passed out [sic].”
