Estate agents - does it matter if your driving licence is automatic only?

Posting here for a quick answer (hopefully).

If you want to become an estate agent and if you have struggled learning to drive a manual, does having an automatic licence put you at a disadvantage if you wanted to apply for big-name estate agents (John D. Wood, Savills etc)?

I can see they all require "full, clean driving licence" but nowhere specifies if this is manual or automatic?

Can anyone help please?

My estate agent friends drive their own cars so can’t see why it would be an issue

I guess it will depend on the fleet if vehicles they have & if they expect you to drive them, or if they just want to know you have a license & access to your own vehicle to drove to apts etc

I thought Full means manual ( and automatic)

I can only base this on the couple of estate agents I know, but they both use their own cars for work (presumably with expenses and commercial insurance etc).

At least one estate agency locally all drive branded up Fiat 500s though, so I assume they are company cars supplied by the agency.

Depends on the agency, I suspect!

AFAIK full just means not provisional.
