Avocado Property has reported its strongest financial quarter to date, as buyers dashed to beat the March 2025 deadline.

The self-employed estate agency brand says that several of its self-employed partner agents earned more than £60,000 in a single month, with one even approaching £80,000.

“It was a phenomenal quarter for the brokerage,” said Ian Macbeth, founder and managing partner at Avocado Property. “And it wasn’t just a flash in the pan – many of our agents followed up big months with back-to-back performances. This is a signal of sustained success, not short-term spikes”.

The performance of Avocado Property is indicative of a much broader trend across the industry. Data from TwentyEA shows that the self-employed model grew its market share of newly instructed sales by nearly one-third in 2024 – a shift that’s challenging the long-established dominance of high street agencies.

“If you’re a confident, hyper-local expert, self-employment is a no-brainer,” said Macbeth. “Our agents are building personal brands, running micro-businesses, and earning life-changing income – all on their own terms.”

He added: “Self-employed agents have the advantage—they know their client, they know their patch, and they’re there from start to finish. That relationship makes all the difference.”
