Camilla Dell, our Managing Partner at Black Brick, was delighted to discuss with Ruth Bloomfield for The Telegraph, the best ways to sell your home in a crowded market.

The article examines how sellers can improve their chances of securing a sale in a market where housing stock is at its highest level in a decade and buyers have more choice than ever.
