The Challenge

Our clients were looking for a three bedroom apartment to use as a pied-a-terre in central London. They live in the U.S. but travel to London regularly for work and have three children. They wanted our guidance on specific areas that would work for them, and needed to be able to make the most of their short time spent in London for viewings.

The Perfect Conclusion

Our extensive search, previewing and reporting to our clients in advance of their visit meant that their time was well utilized with us when they came to London for viewings, and we were able to “hit the ground running”. We sourced a modern lateral apartment in the heart of ‘Old Chelsea’ completely off-market. The flat has good views and is a short walk to an abundance of shops, cafes and restaurants along Kings Road and the wider Chelsea area. The building also benefits from underground parking, lift and a porter. Due to our relationship with another agent we were able to source this apartment, which was rented out and therefore not on the open market, for a one off viewing. We then subsequently negotiated and agreed a competitive offer with the seller whilst avoiding any competition from other buyers. Our clients were the only people to see this apartment and have the opportunity to buy it.

The Unfair Advantage

We work well under pressure. Our clients were only in London for a week, but we managed to successfully source and negotiate a perfect property in Chelsea for them, entirely off market, and save them £158,000 from the asking price.

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!).
