Why London is the Perfect Destination for U.S. Relocators
The process of buying or renting a property in the UK is very different to the U.S. With no MLS, buyers and renters without a buying agent have to register with multiple estate agents to try to find the right property. Estate and lettings agents in the UK work for the seller or landlord and are focused on selling or renting their direct listings. At Black Brick, we only ever work for the buyer or tenant, saving you valuable time, giving you access to off-market listings, handling offers and negotiations and offering you personalized relocation support from start to finish.
As well as finding you your new London home, Black Brick clients benefit from access to our trusted partnerships for tax and legal guidance, banking and finance options and schools advice.

Our experience finding, viewing, and purchasing a very special London flat was only possible thanks to the Black Brick team. We felt confident that our interests were in superb hands from the very start and marvelled at the team’s patience and skill at navigating what turned out to be a trickier process than we’d expected (Covid, Grade I Listed Building, my husband & I based in the US). Black Brick also provided us with introductions to exceptional legal talent and to the architect/builders with whom we’ll work on renovations. Our specific contact, Camilla Dell was cheerfully available at all times (we’re seven time zones behind London) and didn’t leave anything to chance. We are happy to recommend Black Brick unconditionally to anyone who wants to work with professionals with deep knowledge, discretion, and invaluable experience. We would hire them immediately were we to purchase another UK property”. Mr and Mrs Swanson
