Despite a challenging geopolitical backdrop and shifting domestic politics, London’s super-prime property market has continued to deliver standout results through the first half of 2026 — including a notable off-market win for Black Brick.
Black Brick secured a six-bedroom townhouse on Belgravia’s Wilton Crescent for a repeat client for £13.88mn — a 13% discount to the £16mn asking price, working out at roughly £2,495 per square foot. The buyer, based in Asia, had previously purchased an apartment through them in the same neighbourhood and was looking to upsize into a larger home with outside space. Grand homes on streets of this calibre rarely reach the open market, and this one — more than 5,500 sq ft with two terraces and communal garden access — was sourced entirely through their off-market network.
This deal sits within a wider pattern of resilience at the top of the market. The period’s headline transaction was the reported £275mn sale of Providence House in Chelsea, understood to be the most expensive residential deal in UK history, while The Holme in Regent’s Park was reportedly poised to change hands for around £190mn — a striking uplift on the £138.9mn paid for the same property less than two years earlier.
Elsewhere, activity spanned new-build and period stock alike: a Hyde Park-facing penthouse at Park Modern changed hands for around £57mn, an international family bought six units at Mayfair’s 60 Curzon scheme, and Caudwell is understood to have sold both Fonteyn House in Knightsbridge and a Mayfair coach house earlier in the year. Belgravia remained a focal point beyond our own deal, with sales recorded on Cadogan Place and Belgrave Square each exceeding £35mn, alongside further super-prime activity at Chelsea Barracks.
Off-market discretion continued to define the top end of the market, echoing the approach Black Brick took on Wilton Crescent, with several of the period’s most significant transactions — including deals in Notting Hill and Barnes — going through away from public listings.
