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.
The experience was good because no time was wasted. We were asked criteria, they stuck to that criteria and showed us rental properties based on that. It was also a huge time saver for us to have them do the research and coordinator between all the different rental agencies to identify properties versus us spending time and talking to several people at a time. Also was good to have them involved till the process of signing of the lease to ensure that part went smoothly too.
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.
I recently had the pleasure of working with Black Brick Property Solutions to find an apartment in London, and I cannot recommend them enough! From the beginning, the team displayed utmost professionalism, making the entire process seamless and worry-free. Their keen attention to detail and genuine care for our needs made our experience exceptionally pleasant. If you’re looking for a reliable property consultant that goes above and beyond, look no further than Black Brick Property Solutions. A heartfelt thank you to the team for making our apartment hunt such a delightful experience!
Rupert was able to use his contacts with local Estate Agents, and knowledge of the area to secure viewings on a number of properties over a period of 4 months. As a complete newbie to viewing properties, it was a real learning curve, and although the goal posts moved a number of times throughout this search, Rupert took it in his stride and guided and enabled me to re-focus on what my priorities were. Without a doubt, if I had not had Rupert to steer me it would have been an almost impossible search.
I assigned Anna to assist with our search in Cornwall. We were looking for the impossible and were searching for our dream Cornish abode for our final move. Anna was diligent in our search and very quickly produced a portfolio of properties for us to consider. We cannot recommend Anna highly enough. We still remain in touch to this day.
It would have been very hard without you, Rupert. Thank you so much for all your understanding which I know was severely tested on one occasion at least! It was such a huge comfort for me to know that you were there, so easy to talk to, so kind and patient. Your knowledge and expertise were invaluable to us….you have been a wonderful source of advice, guidance and encouragement throughout the process. We always knew that you had our best interests at heart…and seriously think we would have given up without your steady encouragement and support.
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!
We had a fantastic experience with Black Brick. Tom found us an amazing house, completely off market. Highly professional, really useful advice and lovely to work with throughout.
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. This is the best agency I have worked with and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for their perfect property.
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.
We would be delighted to hear from you to discuss your own property requirements. For a non-obligatory consultation, please contact us.
