“Black brick were very efficient in helping us find houses that were not yet publicly available but also were of great assistance through the bidding process and the execution process making a large house purchase feel as easy as buying a coffee in starbucks!”

“Black Brick were my buying agents. I do not live in the UK and didn't know how the UK real estate market works.

Black Brick made it easy and understandable. They listened very carefully to my needs and desires and subsequently guided me through the whole process, explained what is going at the moment and what is coming. They are always easy to reach and ready to answer any questions or give the advice. And last but by no means least, they found me the property within less then 2 months and it was exactly what I wanted! I can highly recommend Black Brick.”

“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.”

“Black Brick were an amazing help with my property purchase. Everything was very efficient and stress free.

They provided multiple shortlisted properties for me to review, arranged 8 property viewings which we managed to complete in under 3 hours, managed all of the negotiations during the offer phase & I completed with a brilliant discount off of the asking price of the property. I would never purchase another property again without the help of Black Brick - their input was completely invaluable.”

“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!”

“The Black Brick team did a fantastic job helping us buy a property in London.

Their professionalism and knowledge about the local market impressed us. They made themselves available, always ready to help and support us during our search and decision making.

“We worked with Tom at Black Brick to source for us a rental property at short notice.

This is the message we sent Tom after securing us a most desirable property: On behalf of us both, I wanted to thank you for a job extremely well done. To secure a property for us which was not yet marketed, particularly one so appealing, is a great testament to your value add. Now we shall be able to relax for the weekend knowing we have a lovely place to move to next Friday.”

“A very professional company, Without us onsite at all, Black Brick guided us patiently through the two year process: from property search, contract negotiation, inspection, smooth completion, and even furnishing.

They were always on top of every detail and we trust their advice 100%.”

“We didn't have a clue how to buy a house. All we heard were horror stories and friends feeling overwhelmed and disappointed by their experience.

No one ever told us it was easy and great when they bought their home. I asked a friend who just bought a house what he would have done differently and he said 'I wish I used Black Brick'. It was the best decision we could have made. Tom and Camilla are experts who had our backs throughout the entire process and made it seamless - not just the transaction but all the parts of the puzzle. We had very specific requirements and Tom spent time making sure we were aligned. They saved us a ton of time, money and we learned so much under their guidance. It was also easy and great.”

“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.”

“We would heartily recommend Tom and the Black Brick team after our experience working with them to purchase a flat in central London.

It has been a much longer & more complex than expected journey together due to us living overseas and added Covid challenges but they have continually kept us informed and ensured we felt in expert hands from the beginning. When we finally had an opportunity to come to London, they quickly, professionally, expertly & warmly provided us with the short list and hand held us through the entire process to completion and now on to rental, we look forward to continuing the Black Brick relationship.”

“We worked with Black Brick both on the rental and purchasing market for the last 2 years, the initial idea being to rent a property and discover London before settling down on the long term.

They did comprehensive work in both cases to our great satisfaction. Their ability to understand and adapt to our very specific needs, their patience, made all the difference. Always available, Black Brick advised us wisely with great professionalism, and his extended network allowed us to have a clear view of our targeted market. Black Brick is highly recommended for any search in London, which happens to be a complex and granular market, difficult to access properly otherwise.”

“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.”

“We reached out to Black Brick to help us find a home in Fulham.

We didn’t know what was available or what our expectations should be. Black Brick took the time to walk us through our options and how they would meet our requirements.

Even after we decided on a property, Black Brick helped us through a very stressful process with lots of unknowns in the midst of a global pandemic. We had many setbacks but his expertise and guidance was available to us every step of the way and was greatly appreciated.”

“I have been looking for a house for more than a year. But over the last few months I came in contact with Black Brick.

They are extremely professional and have resources and knowledge at their disposal which helps them to find the solutions you require. Thanks to them we have just got a wonderful new house and they have helped with every step along the way.”

“We recommend Black Brick highly, they are fantastic at what they do.

Tom was an absolute pleasure to work with. Whilst our target area (Dulwich) was not one they’d done a lot of work in before, he was quick in getting to grips with it and provided genuinely helpful insight and advice from his considerable experience. Tom was able to source an ideal family home for us, wholly off-market. He was instrumental in ensuring a smooth conveyancing process right through to completion. Nothing was too much trouble. Having such a thoughtful, insightful and commercial partner working with us, really made all the difference.”

“We appointed Black Brick to search for a property in London and gave them a fairly stringent requirement list.

We were delighted with their pleasant and extremely professional approach which ensured we only saw properties that fully met our requirements. They provided return transport and escorted us to all viewings. They made one feel we were their only customers which, considering their workload, was a triumph on their part. Within a month they had found our ideal property and more than saved their fee by negotiating a significant reduction in the asking price. I have no hesitation in recommending them.”

“Thank you, and especially Alex for your brilliant service in helping us purchase Stock House.

We had not expected to achieve our goals in such a short time frame and in a very satisfying way. Alex realized very quickly our priorities and criteria, and proposed very relevant properties. It’s a challenge to discover the - sometimes unmentioned - wishes of customers, and to permanently fulfil them. Your recommendations for a solicitor and mortgage broker were also very helpful and they proved to be a great team. Thank you for guiding us and helping us to understand the differences between buying in Germany versus the UK - we could not have done it without you.”

“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.”
