Research Reveals Average Daily Estate Agent Commission Across UK Regions

New research from eXp UK has found that the average estate agent in the UK earns £30.93 per day in commission while progressing a property sale from instruction to completion. The analysis combines average estate agency fees, regional house prices, and average transaction times to estimate commission earnings per completed sale and the daily equivalent during the transaction period.

Nationally, the average estate agency fee is reported as 1.42%. When applied to the average UK house price of £270,080, this results in an estimated commission of £3,835 per sale. With the average transaction taking 124 days to complete, this equates to £30.93 in commission revenue per day.

London agents earn the highest daily commission, with an estimated £7,848 per transaction and £60.37 per day, despite an average completion time of 130 days. The South East follows at £40.54 per day, and Northern Ireland at £39.60 per day, where the fastest average completion time in the UK is 71 days. Agents in the East of England (£36.45), the South West (£32.55), and Scotland (£32.44) also earn above the national daily average.

At the lower end, the North East records the lowest daily commission at £19.81, with an estimated fee per transaction of £2,317. Wales is second lowest at £22.35 per day, reflecting the longest average completion time in the UK at 135 days. Yorkshire and the Humber (£23.07), the North West (£24.55), and the West Midlands (£26.03) also fall below the national average.

The research highlights how regional market dynamics, including property values and transaction timelines, influence earning potential for estate agents. The findings may be of interest to letting agents and inventory clerks monitoring regional trends in the UK property market.
