Independent recognition.

“We engaged Black Brick as our buying agents and had the pleasure of working with Dominic and Tom.

Following an initial set of viewings over the summer, Black Brick helped us refine the search parameters based on the initial set of viewings and navigate the real estate landscape. Their inputs and advice proved to be both prescient and on-point; ultimately prompting us to reconsider our own initial requirements for a move-in towards renovating an existing property. Throughout the whole process, Dom and Tom have been patient, insightful, delivering service to an exceptional standard and ultimately securing for our family an exceptional deal in an excellent location. Moreover, the transaction had several complications, which Dom and Tom managed with great aplomb and tact. We would - without hesitation – recommend Black-brick to potential buyers.”

“Our experience with Black Brick has been excellent from the very beginning.

We were struck early on by the team's responsiveness, the depth and quality of their analysis, and the way they consistently placed our needs and preferences at the heart of the process.

Rather than overwhelming us with options, Black Brick presented a focused set of high-quality opportunities that genuinely aligned with what we were looking for. Their guidance during the negotiation phase was outstanding and made a complex process feel structured, transparent, and well managed.

We are delighted with the Bloomsbury apartment we have just completed on and felt supported by trusted, highly competent advisors throughout.

Black Brick is a very professional firm, and we would strongly recommend them to anyone considering a property purchase in London.”

“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!).”

“Camilla Dell and her world-class team were key to our successful purchase of a stunning three-bedroom flat in Marylebone.

We felt we were in the very best trustworthy hands from the start, which was especially important as we were overseas during much of the search and buying process. The Black Brick team is professional, proactive, and friendly -- and met all of our needs in a timely and efficient manner. While we already knew London well and are ourselves seasoned property owners in several countries, Black Brick\'s insider information provided us with early access to a stunning newly listed property in a highly sought after Crescent. Her team then shepherded through the entire transaction, including connecting us with expert legal counsel and finally with a superb architect / contractor team who carried out our extensive renovations. Black Brick is truly a \"one-stop\" shop that made not only our buying, but ultimately also our construction process seamless and enjoyable. We have nothing but praise and unequivocal recommendation for Camilla and her firm.”

“My husband and I recently relocated to London this fall and engaged Black Brick as our search agent.

They were knowledgeable, kind and helpful in all aspects of our move. We had a short timeframe and specific criteria (ie 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, tall ceilings, sunlight, etc) and Black Brick proved invaluable in our search. The Central London real estate market is insane. The weak pound Sterling and rising interest rates caused an influx of foreign investors and low inventory creating a super sellers’ market and many bidding wars between buyers. Black Brick viewed and culled over 40 properties on our behalf, persevering until he found us the perfect flat.

Even though, we had an accepted bid, another buyer started a bidding war. (UK bids are not legally binding until an “exchange of contracts” that usually occurs 6-8 weeks after an accepted bid.) However, this is when Black Brick's expertise and charm shone through. Not only did he secure us the flat, exchanging contracts in less than 2 weeks, but we purchased it for less than the competitor’s bid. No doubt, without Black Brick we would never have found the flat, much less been successful at purchasing it. We highly recommend Black Brick to anyone thinking of entering the London real estate market.”

“Camilla, Tom and the team at Black Brick were instrumental in helping us find a flat in a perfect location in London for our family.

They understood our needs through numerous meetings prior to our visiting London in person, then showed us a full portfolio of homes when we were able to travel . They explained the advantages of the different areas and really understood how our needs would be met. When we liked a certain flat in a building, Tom was able to use his network to find a larger flat in the same building that was off market, but available. We also appreciated the support after our bid was placed and accepted. They were able to connect us to local banks, designers, contractors, property managers--which made the transition much easier.”

“We engaged Black Brick as buying agent with our property search in London in Aug 2021.

Despite being overseas, having very specific requirements and a fairly tight timeline (because of our impending move back to London), Black Brick was able to help us find our amazing family home that ticked all of the boxes!

The Black Brick team are professional, knowledgeable and have a very good sense of what their clients needs are. They have a lot of experience in the property market and will guide you along the way from property search, negotiation, conveyancing and legal process etc, which gave us a great piece of mind. We really appreciate their responsiveness (sometimes answering questions during holidays or odd hours given timezone differences for important matters) and post-completion concierge services as well!”

“We have known Camilla Dell and her team of professionals for the past 11 years.

They helped us with our first purchase in Prime Central London, and have done so too with two more properties. Why do we keep coming back to Black Brick? A few good reasons. They're exceptionally knowledgeable about the pulse of property, particularly in PCL. Black Brick's professional advice is fact-driven and spot-on accurate. Their ability to negotiate and source the right properties at the right price is superb. Without this skill, caveat emptor! Black Brick are honest and frank, they don't sell hype or push secondary agendas. What you see is what you get and they've been consistent like this for the 11 years we've dealt with them. Finally, they're just really pleasant people to deal with. Polite, responsive, friendly. We have no hesitation in recommending them and have written this review with pleasure.”

“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.”

“I met with a number of companies with a view to purchasing a number of properties in London.

What impressed me from the beginning was that the Black Brick team worked through our needs in a meticulous way and went about finding our properties in the same manner, as opposed to some 'nudge nudge, wink wink' old boys network. Tom and Alex understood the nuances of the various locations, never tried to push us in a particular direction against our will and were always conscious of our concerns about potentially fragile state of the confidence in the London property market. They found multiple properties and we have bought two which we're very happy with the negotiated outcomes. They have been truly excellent.”

“With our family growing, we were looking to upgrade from our small space in Bethnal Green to a larger family home in North London.

We initially managed the search ourselves, but after 6 months of looking become a little dispirited at the difficulty of finding something in our price range.

We were unsure about whether a buying agent was worthwhile for us, but came to the conclusion that buying a family home was probably the biggest investment we would ever make, and it made sense to have experts to help guide us through. We had an initial meeting with Camilla and the Black Brick team and were immediately impressed with their market knowledge, professionalism and their ability to give us an independent view as to what we could realistically achieve on our budget.

Jamie was our point of contact at Black Brick and he provided us with tremendous support through the whole process. In our case, we actually found a property relatively quickly – but what we hadn’t immediately appreciated was the support that Jamie would also provide in managing the whole purchase process from offer through to completion. Through the offer negotiation, Jamie’s market knowledge meant that we were making informed decisions about the true value of the property and resulted in us achieving a price well below the seller’s initial asking price. In addition, the chain was quite complex, and once the offer had been accepted, Jamie really took it on himself to manage the entire chain to make sure that it all went through. Jamie really went above and beyond what we had expected – if he hadn’t been involved, the purchase would never have happened.

In summary although we had initial doubts as to whether a buying agent would make sense for us, we found their support invaluable in helping us achieve our goal and finding a great family home. The investment was definitely worthwhile (both financially and in time and effort) and we would have no hesitation in using Black Brick again or recommending them to others.”

“Through our role we liaise with many Property Agents, Managers and Advisors on a daily basis.

Having so many contacts in the UK property market provides our Company the choice of the very best the market has to offer with our preferred Property Agent List reflecting this. Black Brick Property Solutions LLP (“Black Brick”) is among the top of this list due to their continued professionalism, exceptional service, personal touch and fantastic results for our clients.

From sourcing the correct property in Harbour Reach for the respective client or structure, guidance offered during the purchasing process, to refurbishment work and the appointment of a Letting Agent, our interaction with Black Brick is always a positive experience and made all the more smooth due to their experience and hand-on approach. I would not hesitate to recommend them to clients or friends”

“We purchased our investment property, Viridian Apartments, with Black Brick as our buying agent.

Upon completion, we had the task of redecorating the property and finding a tenant. After reviewing the proposals from other reputable agents with prominent offices in Battersea, we decided to strengthen our relationship with Black Brick and appointed them as our managing agents.

Though other agents were offering lower commissions, we decided that as overseas landlords, our property and our tenant would be better looked after by an agent who would be more personally involved. They are extremely efficient, knowledgeable, hardworking and has a delightful personality. The redecoration and furnishing was completed in a timely manner and done efficiently and to a high standard, due to the great relationship that Black Brick have with their service providers and the close supervision that they undertake.

Black Brick's guidance was invaluable in promptly finding a professional couple as our tenants, and negotiating the lease and rental. This was done in the week before Christmas, when everyone else would have been preoccupied with the festivities, and deferred the property to January’s listing! I am pleased to say that we made the right decision, and I believe that our tenants are extremely happy with the service that they receive whenever there is an issue with the property.”

“My wife and I used Black Brick’s buying service to acquire our property in Drayton Gardens in 2014 as a secondary residence.

We were very happy with the buying service so when it came to considering engaging someone to look after the property in our absence it made sense for us to consider Black Brick’s vacant care service. We have now used the service for 9 months and are as pleased with this service as we were with the buying service. Since we are based overseas it is important to us to have someone on the ground in London who we are confident will maintain our property in an efficient and professional manner. Black Brick’s service has fully met our requirements. The weekly inspections and prompt addressing of any maintenance issues and pre arrival and post departure services, have meant that on our visits to London, we have been able fully to enjoy the property rather than spend time trying to deal with property related issues ourselves.”

“We would like to thank Black Brick property management for their excellent and attentive service in renting and managing all aspects of our property in Sloane Avenue mansions.

The superb advisory service we received from Black Brick allowed us to secure the property we wanted while we were overseas, and this encouraged us to have Black brick manage our property.

The property management team, has and continues to, do a phenomenal job in managing our property, from taking care of refurbishing and furnishing the flat to securing tenants with the best rental terms in the London. As foreign buyers, we have limited knowledge and capability in managing our own property and Black Brick’s great property management team gives us both mental and financial peace of mind. We highly recommend Black Brick, a very professional company with a great team.”

“Black Brick displayed an acute awareness from day one as to what my true needs were.

Not only did they successfully find my current home, but they also found my first property for me in London and then I utilised their managed sales service to sell that property. They did a fantastic job, negotiating the best deal with the right agent to ensure I sold my property at the best possible price. We then instructed Black Brick to find us a bigger home. Within a short space of time, they identified a number of suitable options until they found our ideal home for us. Despite what was a difficult transaction, Black Brick ensured a smooth process throughout and we are delighted with their high level of service and dedication to our needs. They are always available and work hard to get the deal done. I would not hesitate in recommending them”
