Our story

The story of London’s leading independent buying agency, in our own words

Black Brick was born free.
Born independent.
Born to be different.

We are a close team of like-minded, highly experienced and disciplined individuals who understand that a client is an individual, too.

Black Brick was founded in January 2007, when Managing Partner Camilla Dell saw an opportunity to create a holistic property consultancy company with services including property buying, investing, managed sales, property management, rental search and a vacant property care service, whose unique & relentless approach could give their clients a distinct advantage.

Since then it has grown from being a two-strong team operating out of a loft in London’s South Hampstead, to one of the leading independent buying agencies in London, the Home Counties and the West Country. The pace of Black Brick’s success has been as swift, but sure. Staggeringly so.

Black Brick is now based in Mayfair and has a nine-strong team of property consultant professionals, carefully handpicked from across the industry for their depth of experience, specialist insight, valuable network of contacts and proven negotiation skills. Collectively, we have accumulated more than 100 years’ experience in the dynamic London, Home Counties and the West Country property markets, encompassing a range of very different market conditions.

This rare combination of talent underpins our success in meeting the high expectations of clients, giving us a critical edge in the highly competitive property search and buying process.

Today, our success is writ large in its financial achievements.

Since 2007, we have successfully secured in excess of £2 billion in residential property for our clients.

The company has won multiple awards including ‘Best Property Advisor of the Year’ for Spears Wealth Management, ‘Best Buying Agency’ three years in a row for the Sunday Times Estate Agent of the Year Awards, “Best Property Advisor” Wealth Advisor Awards 2019, and were also named one of the top 25 residential property buyers by E-Private Clients in 2019. The firm is regularly included in the Spears 500, an essential guide for high net worth clients, has consistently ranked in the top 5 most influential, successful & connected prime residential property acquisition specialists in Britain by PrimeResi and is regularly ranked in Chambers High Net Worth Guide.

We are now well-established as the property expert for a number of leading private banks. An extraordinary achievement in the challenging property marketplace in which we operate – and plan to do so continually.

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

Complex and sophisticated transactions are Black Brick’s sweet spot, which is another factor that makes the team stand out.

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.”
