Surrey
Known for its lush greenery, historic landmarks, and affluent communities, Surrey offers a picturesque setting for both residents and visitors. From the rolling hills of the North Downs to the serene beauty of its woodlands and parks, Surrey boasts a diverse landscape that caters to outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
What Makes Surrey Special?
The Surrey Hills is amongst the most beautiful swathes of open countryside in the UK – most famously, Box Hill, immortalised by Jane Austen in her 1815 novel Emma. But the hills also contain fabulous walking and cycling trails, follies and historic houses to explore.
What is so extraordinary about the hills is that all natural beauty is to be found just 20 miles from central London.
Surrey house hunters can choose from vibrant market towns like Guildford and Farnham, or glorious villages like Shere, where the Kate Winslet/Cameron Diaz film The Holiday was shot. There are almost-London locations like Walton-on-Thames, for those who don’t want to be too far away from the capital, and private gated estates like The Wentworth Estate for those who value privacy and security.
Its a real pleasure for us to be the property agent families trust to find forever homes in Surrey, and the firm downsizers turn to when the time has come to move into a thriving town with plenty of amenities on the doorstep.

Clients can trust our experts to find ways into this competitive property market, which includes some of the UK’s most sought-after commuter locations.

We work with local law firms so you are well represented throughout the conveyancing process. This will protect your investment and make sure there are no hiccups along the way to completion. And our service doesn’t stop when you collect the keys. If you want your new property upgraded we can also put you in touch with interior and garden designers who can help create your dream home.

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

“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.”
