Brexit would hit house prices, says Osborne
During a visit to Japan for a G7 Finance Ministers meeting on Friday, Chancellor George Osborne told the BBC house prices could fall by 18% if the UK left the EU.
It is a claim made in a Treasury report out next week, which argues that Brexit would create a series of economic shocks to housing, employment and wages.
Leave campaigners argue however that lower house prices would be good for first-time buyers.
