Frequently Asked Questions
The UK has no central property listing system, so buyers are left registering with dozens of estate agents — every one of whom acts for the seller, not for you. We represent buyers only. That means access to the best available homes, including off-market opportunities that never reach the portals, and an experienced negotiator working solely on your behalf. For a countryside or coastal move in particular, buyer-only representation and genuine local insight are the difference between hoping you’ve found the right home and knowing you have.
Very well. With over 100 years of combined experience across Surrey, Dorset, Devon, Somerset, Cornwall and London, we know these regions street by street and village by village. We’ll talk you through the character of each area, its amenities, transport links and pricing and, where it’s relevant to you, rental values and yields, so you can weigh up the lifestyle around a home, not just the home itself, before you commit.
Yes. We understand that schooling is often the deciding factor when relocating. Through our trusted education partners, we help you identify the private and state schools best suited to your children, while factoring catchment areas, travel times, and lifestyle into our property search. The result is a move where your home and your children’s education are aligned from day one.
No, handling that for you is the point of instructing us. We deal with the agents on your behalf: registering your requirements, sourcing and shortlisting properties, arranging and conducting viewings in person or virtually, and managing every negotiation. You have a single dedicated point of contact at Black Brick rather than chasing multiple agents across several counties.
A countryside or cross-border move can bring new financial and tax implications, from Stamp Duty and mortgage arrangements to wider tax planning and, for those moving to the UK, immigration and legal matters. We introduce you to our trusted network of tax, legal and financing specialists, who provide clear guidance so every aspect of your move is properly planned and there are no costly surprises. We work alongside these experts; we don’t provide regulated tax or legal advice ourselves.
Not all, but a significant number are. Alongside the best of what’s openly available, we regularly source exclusive off-market and pre-market homes that never appear on public portals. In practice this means you see a wider and more relevant selection than you could reach on your own, often with less competition for the homes you want.
Moving to the countryside is about building a new life, not just buying a property. We share our local knowledge to help you find your feet quickly, from the hidden gems and everyday amenities of your new neighbourhood to the rhythm and culture of the area and our concierge support extends to the practicalities, such as recommending local services and trusted trades. The aim is for you to feel at home from the moment you arrive.
We regularly assist clients searching for a countryside or coastal second home, as well as permanent movers, downsizers and investors. For second-home and investment buyers we can also advise on rental values and yields and, once you’ve completed, our Property Management Service can look after the home and oversee any lettings while you’re away, so your retreat stays cared for year-round.
