We’re celebrating a major milestone this week as we reach £80 million in deals, despite today’s challenging UK housing market.
Despite a challenging London property market in 2025, buying agency Black Brick has turned difficult conditions to its clients’ advantage, completing approximately £80 million worth of transactions since January.
The Mayfair-based firm has leveraged market softness — including hesitant buyers and vendors with unrealistic pricing expectations — to negotiate significant discounts on behalf of clients. Headline deals include a Georgian townhouse on Marylebone’s Manchester Street acquired for £7.5 million, a trophy flat on Mount Street in Mayfair concluded at £5.95 million following off-market negotiations, and a duplex apartment on Randolph Avenue in Maida Vale secured for £4.5 million — a 14% reduction from the original asking price.
The firm’s most high-profile acquisition was a Grade I-listed Hampstead villa with nearly 300 years of history, originally listed at £25 million. Managing Partner Camilla Dell led due diligence on the landmark property, explaining: “Because this landmark property is close to 300-years-old, and restoration of a Grade I building is complex and expensive, it was crucial we did our due diligence during the sales process.” A heritage specialist was commissioned to verify compliance with listed building requirements, and the transaction completed in under a month.
