We were able to purchase the apartment ‘off market’ for £6,500,000 to include a parking space. This equated to a price of £2474 per square foot which represented real value when compared to similar new build properties in the local area.

Back

The Challenge

Our clients loved the property we found for them but had decided that they were going to make London their permanent home and so wanted to purchase an apartment of at least 2500 square feet and crucially with an amazing view. The budget was flexible but our clients wanted to feel that they were getting value for their acquisition given that they were so happy in their rental property.

The Perfect Conclusion

Our clients were very open to a number of locations within London and so we spent considerable time looking at a wide variety of neighbourhoods. From Hampstead in the North to Kensington in the West as well as more Central areas like Fitzrovia and Marylebone. It became evident that finding ‘the perfect view’ was a considerable challenge. As a result of our network we became aware that the penthouse in the building they were renting in was potentially available. The building is a boutique collection of just 57 spacious New York loft style apartments. The apartments benefit from 2.9m ceiling heights and floor to ceiling windows. Residents benefit from 24 hour concierge, a sky garden and gym. The apartment had been retained by the developer who had used it as a rental investment and offered not only 2500 square foot but the most incredible terrace with far reaching views across London. We were able to purchase the apartment ‘off market’ for £6,500,000 to include a parking space. This equated to a price of £2474 per square foot which represented real value when compared to similar new build properties in the local area.

Our unfair advantage

Our network is unrivalled. By dealing directly with the freeholder of the building, we were able to source the perfect penthouse apartment completely off market. First mover advantage ensured our clients did not have to deal with a potential competitive bidding war had the apartment made its way onto the open market.

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!).
