An estate agent taking photographs of a property they were trying to sell, published images of a sleeping resident as part of an on-line brochure publicising the house.
The five bedroom terrace in Whitley Bay, which has been listed on Rightmove, features double glazing, gas central heating and a ‘useful’ yard.
The current owner has let out the £328,000 home and when the estate agent arranging the sale arrived at the property, one resident remained in their bed while the photographs were taken.
Now the tenant has been ridiculed on Reddit after users spotted him sleeping during the visit by the estate agent.
Worse still for the sleeping man, he faces potential eviction by his landlord who has said the property can be offered with ‘vacant possession’.
According to the listing: ‘Bettermove are proud to present this five bedroom terraced house in Whitley Bay available with no forward chain.
‘The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating throughout and has ample on street parking nearby. The council tax band is B.
‘The property is tenanted and rental yields can be obtained through Bettermove. This can also be sold vacant on possession.’
And it added: ‘The interior of this well presented property comprises the communal fitted kitchen and dining room on the ground floor. The ground floor also has two bedrooms.
