Self-employed platform attracts ‘experienced agents leaving the high street’

Moveli, the self-employed estate agency platform, has seen broker numbers surge by almost 90% in 2025 as experienced agents strike out on their own.

The average broker on the platform, which launched in 2017, now has 19 years’ experience, while the company reports that strong sales – averaging around £21,000 per listing across more than 350 active properties – are helping to attract even more agents.

Moveli’s managing director James Giblin said: “This [growth] is testament to the improved service the brand delivers and the calibre of agents we continue to attract, even in difficult market conditions.”

Co-founder Ben Littlewood added: “As the UK moves increasingly towards the self-employed broker model, it’s great to see Moveli cement its position at the upper end of the market. We are increasingly the go-to brokerage for experienced agents leaving the high street.”

According to TwentyCi’s Property & Homemover End of Year 2025 Report, the self-employed sector continues to grow, as reflected in a rise in completed property sales – largely at the expense of online agents, whose market share declined to 5.2% in 2025, down from a peak of 8.2% in 2019.
