UK homeowners face significant hit from Brexit - Osborne

Chancellor George Osborne said on Sunday that homeowners would face a "significant hit" from lower house prices and higher mortgage costs if voters decided to leave the European Union in a referendum in June. This goes to the heart of people's financial security," Osborne said in an interview on ITV television. Opinion polls have shown that voters believe that staying in the EU would be best for Britain's economy but they are narrowly divided on how they intend to vote next month.
