Estate agent adamant that is not the reason nobody wants to buy house

A two-room house in Sweden could be failing to sell because it is located in a village with a naughty, genital-themed name - despite the rock bottom price of around £31,000.

That village is called Snorrslida, which roughly translates to 'penis vagina' in Swedish.

Unfortunately for the sellers, who have been trying to shift the property in Lanholm for over 1,000 days, it did not take long for the housing advert to go viral in the country, the Local has reported.

One Twitter user commented: 'Whoa, slow down for a second. There's a place in Sweden called Snorrslida.'

But estate agent Henrik Hakansson is adamant the name of the village is not the reason prospective house buyers have been put off.

'[The house] is in a bad condition, the difficulties selling it are not related to the name,' he told The Local on Monday.

His company Dansk Ejendoms Consult helps Danish buyers who want to relocate buy their dream home in Sweden.

The two Nordic languages are very similar but not all words are identical and the word Snorrslida causes a raised eyebrow in the Danish tongue.

'Danish people don't have this association with the name, it's only Swedes who know the alternative meaning and laugh about it,' Hakansson said.

He added: 'It's a very small area with not many customers, but we've sold this house before and we believe we can do it again. It was sold about ten years ago, and back then it was in the same condition as it is today.'

'Hopefully it can be sold next week, but it might also take half a year, we'll see.'
