A property investor who took a 'gamble' on a 'blind' flat purchase was left retching as he was forced to wade through mountains of urine-soaked trash - before transforming it into a stunning luxury home.

Taylor Kay, 29, admitted he took a chance by forking out £85,000 in cash for the one-bedroom maisonette in Luton, Bedfordshire, when a fellow investor offered him the property.

The risk was that no-one was able to gain access to the property and so he was forced to make the purchase blind - with no idea of the condition of the flat until he got the keys and battled his way in.

The 29-year-old recorded his first entry into the maisonette, documenting the mounds of urine-soaked rubbish while he can be heard vomiting at the 'disgusting' smell.
