A Sit-Down Interview with Emoov CEO Nick Neale

Selling or letting a property no longer has to mean handing over thousands of pounds to a traditional estate agent.

Have you ever been told you need to use an estate agent’s mortgage broker or solicitor to have your offer considered? That’s called conditional selling - and it’s against the rules.

After years of house prices rising way faster than wages, things are starting to shift. With earnings growing faster than property values for the fourth year in a row, home ownership affordability is finally improving across the UK. But what does this mean if you're thinking of buying, selling, or trying to move up the property ladder? In this blog, we unpack the latest trends and offer practical advice for navigating a more balanced market - whether you’re doing it yourself or listing with Emoov.

Homeowners across the UK are asking the same question: has my property increased in value over the last few years? With new figures showing that over a million homes have jumped by more than 50% in value since 2020, it might be time to take a closer look. Whether you're considering selling, remortgaging, or just curious, here's how to understand your home's worth in today's market.

We’re proud to share that Emoov has been featured in The Glasgow Times, in an article spotlighting how our online-first approach is transforming the property market. The piece, published in the paper’s Scotland Today section, explored how Emoov offers sellers, buyers, and landlords a fairer and more transparent way to move home — without the hefty commissions of traditional estate agents.

Since April 2025, new consumer laws mean sellers must disclose more about their homes - or risk falling foul of the rules. If you're selling your own property, it's important to understand what counts as “material information” and how to stay on the right side of the law. This guide breaks it down in plain English - and includes a free checklist to help you get it right.
