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 are currently overseas, etc). 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 were 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”.
“I wanted you to know what a pleasure it was to work with Jamie on the recent purchase of my new home on Holmdale Road in London. He was friendly, focused and attentive every step of the way and I attribute our success in finding the right home to his diligence. We really came to know each other quite well through this process and when I see him outside our work relationship, I would not hesitate to call him a friend.
Finally, I want to say that your company provides a wonderful service and I wish you many years of future success. “
“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. Sophie Amasha is 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 and Sophie have with their service providers and the close supervision that they undertake.
Sophie’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.”
“I am delighted that we have exchanged contracts on Queens Gate Gardens. Thank you very much for what you have done for us.”
“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 just wanted to express our thanks for all the effort and time you put into our property search. We wont forget your patience and dedication to finding the right home for us in areas unfamiliar to us”.
“Working with Black Brick was a great experience. They were able to source our property in Saint Martin Lofts off the market, which we would have never been able to access on our own. They also saved enormous time by recommending high quality service providers for each step of the process, and were always available when we had questions. We unreservedly recommend them for anyone interested in purchasing a property.”
“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.”
