Travel within the UK is frequent for estate agents and having a driver's licence is a major advantage. Auctioneers may travel to people’s houses to assess properties and goods. Travelling abroad is rare except if working for a non-UK-based company.
Estate agents rarely work from home as they’re needed in-person to show people around properties. Auctioneers mostly work from offices or salerooms but auctions can also take place online, allowing auctioneers to work from home.
