The Challenge

Our clients were looking within a specific area of Kensington where they have existing family ties and with a preference for one particular building. We were able conduct a very focused search and highlight to them all of the properties that were for sale which met with their requirements and budget. Current conditions at this level of the market mean that there are properties which are not openly available and we were able to highlight a number of opportunities within a relatively small area.

The Perfect Conclusion

We identified a large lateral family flat in a very well run portered building next to Holland Park – the perfect building and location for our clients.

The Unfair Advantage

We are well connected. The flat was being sold by way of probate, so presented a good buying opportunity for us to take advantage of. The flat was on a mid-term lease and in need of renovation. We provided our client with full pre-purchase advice on the lease extension cost and process. We were also able to fully advise on the renovation cost and feasibility, drawing on the expert advice of one of our trusted design and build partners. The end result was a £225,000 discount on the asking price, equating to 9%.

Mr and Mrs D May 19, 2025

Thank you so much for helping us clarify exactly what it was we were looking for in a property. In addition, for searching out this beautiful house for us, working with you guys at Black Brick, particularly you Tom, has made this search for a new home such a pleasure, and just as importantly, great fun for us. Thank you also for introducing us to all of the brilliant people who have been guiding us and organising so much behind the scenes leading us through the complicated buying process so calmly getting us to this point. We’re so grateful to everyone involved who has been professional but very approachable. We’ve both been so impressed with the meticulous and painstaking work of each person in their own area of expertise. Everyone at each stage of the process has been remarkable. Every step has been smooth, efficient, and seemingly stress free (for us!).
