Online agent eMoov late yesterday pulled wording from its site which specifically referred to high street agents by name in certain locations and that they were likely to charge 1.5%. It took the action within hours of EYE asking about the references to those agents and their fees. The wording had been in eMoov’s ‘area guides’.
