Disgusting Note In Property Listing Catches House Hunters By Surprise
House hunters were taken aback after discovering a disgusting sign in the listing for a £295,000 property in Spalding, Lincolnshire.
The mid-18th century terraced home boasts eight bedrooms, four ensuites and three bathrooms - but prospective buyers may be a little distracted by the gross note over the kitchen sink that has somehow made it onto the property listing.
Yep, amidst otherwise unremarkable pictures of the property, which has a garden and is a short walk into town, one can’t help but notice a sign next to the kitchen sink, which reads: “Please stop tipping your urine to sink.”

Nice to know the sink you’ll be doing dishes in was - if the note is to be believed - previously used for disposing of a former resident’s pee.
Baffled social media users shared the listing on the MoneySavingExpert forum, with one writing: “Not sure I want to know what that sign is about.”
A second commented: “Why did no one think it was a good idea to remove that sign before taking the photo.”
Another said: “Not enough toilets, residents using a pee bottle and emptying it in the sink.”
This seems unlikely - there are four ensuites and three bathrooms, remember.
A fourth user agreed, saying: “Description says ‘eight bedrooms, four ensuites, three bathrooms’ so maybe just dirty habits.”
Think we’re all clear it’s a dirty habit.
The listing still featured the bizarre image at the time of writing. LADbible has contacted estate agents William H Brown for a comment.
If you’re interested in the otherwise relatively nice looking property, the description reads: “Overlooking the River Welland is this mid 18th century terraced property situated just a short walk from the town centre.
“The property offers eight bedrooms over four floors including two on the basement floor, three on the first with two ensuites and a bathroom and a further three rooms on the second floor plus two ensuites and a further bathroom whilst the kitchen, dining room and a bathroom occupy the ground floor.”

Earlier this year, an estate agent was forced to pull photos from its listing for a £200,000 house in Sheffield when it was made aware that one of its pictures featured an eyebrow-raising banner.
The house boasts four double-bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms, kitchen and private back garden - so far, so normal.
Unfortunately the photographer failed to spot a banner reading ‘let’s party bitches’ in the living room. Oops.
