Buying a property is one the biggest financial commitments you’ll make. Not something you do every day. For this reason, it makes sense to engage professional buying agents to guide and represent you throughout the buying process. Property professionals who do this every day.
Our unfair advantages. Put fairly and squarely.
Securing your ideal property can be frustrating and time-consuming. Where do you start? As buying agents, we start with clarity and we don’t give in until we get what you’re looking for.
We start by meeting you to build a real understanding of your aims and objectives. We advise you on current property market conditions and suggest areas to maximise your budget (we specialise in properties in London, the Home Counties and the South East).
Distances between properties can be considerable. Houses and apartments that look perfect in a photograph can turn out to be wholly unsuitable. As a buying agency, we view and shortlist suitable properties saving you valuable time, as we will only show you properties that we have previewed on your behalf and that meet with all your requirements.
A thorough property search can take weeks, even months. With our contacts, our expertise and negotiating skills, we can cut the time – without taking shortcuts.
The demand for good quality properties often outstrips supply. Prime London and country homes can be sold long before they’re advertised. Armed with your brief, our buying consultants identify the best property, often before it is offered on the open market.
Knowing the property is one thing. What about the area? We accompany you on viewings to shortlisted properties. Our buying agents advise you on the local area, amenities and pricing. We give you an objective overview of the property and pricing so that you are fully equipped to make an informed buying decision.
The property may be right. But the price? As a buying agency, we use expert negotiating skills to secure the right property at the best possible price – on the most favourable terms.
To do this, you need an expert. We work with leading law firms who we recommend to our clients. Our buying agents then manage the legal process throughout to ensure the purchase holds together through to completion and handing over the keys.
Complimentary Property Concierge Service
Our dedicated Property Concierge Service is available to every client on the purchase of a property through Black Brick – at no extra cost. We will take care of transferring over all of the utilities into your name, arrange for telephone lines and internet to be installed and SKY TV packages to be set up for you – ensuring that your move is as hassle-free as possible post-purchase.
A buying agent is someone who acts exclusively on behalf of the buyer. Buying agents help buyers to understand the market, source the right property – sometimes off-market, negotiate the best/lowest price and then manage and oversee the entire legal process. Estate agents in the UK represent sellers. Their job is to sell the property they are instructed on for the highest price possible.
Sourcing property is a very time consuming and frustrating process. A good buying agent will not only help you save valuable time and money, but also ensure you end up finding the right property for you, and one that meets all of your requirements.
Buying agents are able to access more than just what’s online. In 2021, we saved our clients on average 3.6% from asking prices and 42% of properties we acquired were not openly advertised.
We also assist with all apsects of relocation, making it easier for international clients, especially those from the U.S., to settle permanently in the UK.
Put simply, a buying agent represents and acts for the buyer. An estate agent represents and acts for the seller. But there are other important differences, which you can find out more about here.
Buying agents are experts of local areas, with years of experience in the property industry and access to exclusive, off-market properties. Black Brick are well known for taking specific requirements from clients into the process of buying properties, whether it’s a luxurious prime London penthouse or Pied a Terre bursting with character.
In a word, no. Black Brick are certainly experts across the Prime London property market, but have a wealth of experience across the UK countryside, as well as connections overseas to a number of desirable international hotspots.

Black Brick worked as our advisor on a London property search spread across four different neighbourhoods. Not only were the property options presented off market in line with our needs but the service and pre work on each of them was amazing (we live abroad). Additionally the assistance through valuation, purchasing and executing the property including the engagement and briefing of service providers was second to none. I cant imagine buying a property again without Black Brick’s assistance.
