Despite the relative infancy of the new hybrid estate agency sector, it's method as a route to sell has quickly become established amongst UK homeowners.

But it's not just selling houses that this new breed of better agents is becoming the cornerstone for.

Leading company eMoov.co.uk, is known for its property market analysis and on the ball commentary of current issues impacting UK property.

But now it seems that eMoov are ahead of the curve even where the Chancellor of the Exchequer is concerned after a question was put to Mr. Osborne on the impact of a Brexit to UK property prices and it left him a little stumped.

Yesterday, MP Rachel Reeve questioned George on whether he and the Treasury had calculated the cost to UK homeowners if Britain were to leave the EU. Before doing so she highlighted research by eMoov.co.uk, which predicts prices could fall by as much as 5% should the nation vote to leave the European Union on 23rd June.

Despite the enormity of the consequences on the UK property market alone, Mr. Osborne was left with little to say. In fact, he stumbled his way through an answer that amounted to little else than “We will be working on providing a figure, but, we don't have a figure today”.

Founder and CEO of eMoov.co.uk, Russell Quirk, commented:

“We pride ourselves on providing concrete analysis of the UK property market, that tends to outline issues and trends ahead of time. But I have to say, having our research mentioned in the Houses of Parliament is a first for us and one we are delighted to see.

We like to remain impartial in terms of which political post our hat is hung on, however, one thing we are very vocal about is what's best for the UK homeowner. So to know that the relevant people are sitting up and taking notice of what we are trying to tell them is good news indeed.

If Mr. Osborne and the Treasury should need some help on compiling the figures they're currently lacking, they can always come to the market leader in the online property space and we would be more than happy to help.”
