The Challenge

Our UK domestic clients were looking for a second home in London to complement their primary residence in the country. They came to us having looked on their own via the traditional channels – estate agents and websites. Right before engaging us, they had viewed a house they thought they wanted to offer on and asked for our advice. After inspecting the property, we advised our clients to move on from this particular property for several reasons including price and condition. We felt strongly we could identify something more aligned to their requirements and offering better value. The focus was to buy a Freehold house to provide privacy and to ensure they wouldn’t have to share the building with anyone else. Further requirements were for at least 3,000 sq. ft. with some outside space. Our client’s preferred area was within a 1-mile radius of Soho.

The Perfect Conclusion

We successfully sourced this attractive period house in Marylebone. Originally built between 1780 and 1790 but recently renovated with the addition of mod-cons, such as air-cooling. The property has approx. 3,500 sq. ft. of living space comprising five bedrooms, four receptions and private courtyard garden. The prime central London location is on the doorstep of Chiltern Street and Marylebone High Street, one of the most desirable enclaves in the capital. In addition we were able to negotiate a £250,000 discount from the asking price.

The Unfair Advantage

When it comes buying property, our advice is invaluable. We prevented our clients making a costly mistake and buying a property they had viewed before engaging us. As soon as they became clients, we identified several more suitable options, both on and off-market, which were more competitively priced and a better fit for their needs.

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!).
