funny you said that, I even went as far as setting up a new email for that. However, yesterday, I forgot both my PAYG number and google would let me log into my new email, coz I forgot the password... so I gave them my 'real' details... nevermind... still plenty of agents I need to go to...
ExTra-
They're not too bad about changing the number as long as the new number works. The danger is if they keep the old one on record and try that when the burner number dies.
The alternative is finding out your unique voicemail number and give them that. That way your phone never rings but you get the VMs from them.

Get a PAYG sim card in an old phone and give that number to the Estate Agents.
It's, by far, the simplest way of stopping the calls once you have found somewhere to buy.
Gary from Foxtons kept on calling me with suggested properties despite me telling him I'd bought somewhere and had just moved in. In the end I just agreed to the viewing appointments and never turned up. It took 3 of these before he stopped calling me.
