Having always been interested in property, Rupert bought his first house when he was at University at the tender age of 19. Since then he has had a long career in property, firstly in Central London in 1989 and then the Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire area through the 1990s, primarily dealing with the Prime property market of St Georges Hill. Then for 20 years as Managing Director of his own successful independent Land and Estate Agency in Esher and Cobham which he eventually sold in 2016.
Passionate about developing and renovating their own houses, including a number of listed buildings, Rupert and his young family relocated to a farm deep in the Devon countryside in 2010 along with their horses, a Labrador and a Dachshund, a herd of Alpacas and an eclectic collection of classic cars. They then set about renovating the farm and its cottages over a period of 7 years, replacing a herd of Aberdeen Angus with a Wedding and Events venue.
Rupert has first hand experience of what it takes to relocate to the West Country, having developed the right contacts, extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of what is required to guide his clients when making the best possible decisions and when it comes to buying the right property in the competitive West Country marketplace.
When not outside walking his dogs, fixing something on the farm or on his boat in Salcombe, Rupert loves skiing, classic cars, shooting and sometimes the odd pint in some of the best pubs in the West Country!

Mr and Mrs O April 16, 2026
“We engaged Black Brick as our buying agents and had the pleasure of working with Dominic and Tom. Following an initial set of viewings over the summer, Black Brick helped us refine the search parameters based on the initial set of viewings and navigate the real estate landscape. Their inputs and advice proved to be both prescient and on-point; ultimately prompting us to reconsider our own initial requirements for a move-in towards renovating an existing property. Throughout the whole process, Dom and Tom have been patient, insightful, delivering service to an exceptional standard and ultimately securing for our family an exceptional deal in an excellent location. Moreover, the transaction had several complications, which Dom and Tom managed with great aplomb and tact. We would – without hesitation – recommend Black-brick to potential buyers.” Mr & Mrs O

Client February 11, 2021
“We would like to thank Black Brick property management for their excellent and attentive service in renting and managing all aspects of our property in Sloane Avenue mansions. The superb advisory service we received from Black Brick allowed us to secure the property we wanted while we were overseas, and this encouraged us to have Black brick manage our property.”
“The property management team, has and continues to, do a phenomenal job in managing our property, from taking care of refurbishing and furnishing the flat to securing tenants with the best rental terms in the London. As foreign buyers, we have limited knowledge and capability in managing our own property and Black Brick’s great property management team gives us both mental and financial peace of mind. We highly recommend Black Brick, a very professional company with a great team.”
