Did you know the self-employed estate agent sector grew by 31% between 2023 and 2024?
This model, which has long been established in the US, is now making significant strides in the UK.
The growth is being driven by a demand for more personalised service and agents seeking a greater share of the commission.
But what does this really mean for the property market?
Data from 2025 shows that self-employed agents are:
▪️ 12% more likely to get a home sold
▪️ Completing sales 23 days quicker, on average
▪️ Achieving an average of £5,400 more for their vendor
This success often comes down to a relationship-based approach and providing one point of contact from instruction to completion.
However, for a solo agent, managing everything can be a significant challenge.
