London Branch Manager
Brixton | Hybrid
Please note that our client covers all over Zone 1 – 2 in London and have recently moved their office from Hackney to Brixton. The role is, however, hybrid.
Start date: April 2026
Starting salary: £40,000 + unlimited commission (reviewed after 3 months)
Unlimited commission | Monday–Friday | Full-time employee role
The Opportunity
Our client is seeking an experienced, sales driven London Branch Manager to play a key role in shaping and growing the London arm of their independent residential property business.
This is a rare opportunity for someone who has thrived in lettings, sales, and property management, but is now looking to step away from the rigid, corporate estate agency model, without stepping back in ambition, earning potential, or responsibility.
You will work closely with the Managing Director, helping to build the London side of the business strategically and operationally, supported by our London Property Manager and established Birmingham team who manage much of the property management and administration. The role offers genuine autonomy, control over your diary, and the chance to grow something meaningful, ethically, sustainably, and profitably.
The Role
As London Branch Manager, you will take ownership of the London operation, balancing day-to-day activity with longer-term growth. This is a hands-on role for someone who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves, lead from the front, and work across all areas of the business when needed.
Key responsibilities include:
- Leading and developing the London lettings and sales pipeline
- Generating new business and nurturing long-term client relationships
- Overseeing valuations, viewings, negotiations, and instructions
- Supporting and collaborating with the Birmingham team on management and admin
- Assisting the Managing Director in building and strengthening the London presence
- Identifying opportunities for growth across lettings, sales, and ancillary services
- Representing Avery Residential’s values: personal, ethical, inclusive, and bespoke
This is not a “bums-on-seats” role, it’s about quality over quantity, intelligent growth, and building something you can be proud of.
Who they are Looking For
This role is ideal for someone who:
- Has 5+ years’ experience across lettings, sales, and property management
- Is commercially confident but values work-life balance
- Wants more freedom, autonomy, and trust than a traditional corporate agency offers
- Is ambitious, motivated, and entrepreneurial, without the ego
- Enjoys working collaboratively and being part of a growing, independent business
- Is comfortable working across all areas of the business to drive results
- Wants long-term career progression, not just a job title
If you’ve reached a point where you want more control, more reward, and more meaning in your work — this role is designed for you.
Salary & Commission
- Starting salary: £40,000
- This reflects where the business is currently and will be reviewed after 3 months, particularly in line with new business generated and overall contribution.
- Unlimited commission, including:
- Commission on all lettings
- Commission on all sales
- Highly attractive commission on new business brought in (agreed in-house)
- No cap on earnings, your success directly influences your income.
This is very much a long-term employee role, with significant opportunity to grow financially and professionally as the London business expands.
Why chose this company?
- Independent, design-led, and values-driven
- Ethical and personal approach, no corporate scripts or pressure tactics
- Monday to Friday working
- Hybrid working with control over your own diary
- Direct access to the Managing Director and real influence over the business
- Support from an experienced Birmingham team
- Huge scope for progression as the London portfolio grows
In Short
This role is for someone who wants to step up, not burn out.
Someone who wants autonomy without isolation, ambition without burnout, and success without selling their soul to the corporate machine.
If that sounds like you.. we’d love to hear from you.
