The Client
An International buyer.
The Challenge
Our client was looking for a pied-a-terre providing a quiet and safe lock-up and leave apartment in central London. As they only spend a limited amount of time in London high on the list of requirements was a building with a porter, located close to shops and restaurants and with little refurbishment required.
The Perfect Conclusion
Black Brick successfully agreed the purchase of a stunning and truly unique mansion flat £150,000 below the asking price. The flat had recently been stripped back to the shell and meticulously refurbished by the vendors. We are now providing further support to the client through our vacant care service specifically designed for overseas clients.
The Client
A repeat client.
The Challenge
Our client was looking for a secure rental investment to add to his portfolio of properties. We were tasked with finding a property that would rent easily in a desirable location. Our client is a professional sportsman and therefore had very little time to view properties and seek out potential opportunities.
The Perfect Conclusion
Black Brick successfully agreed the purchase at £125,000 below the asking price despite interest from another buyer.
The Client
An Investment Client.
The Challenge
Our investment client had a budget of £550,000 and wanted to purchase a studio apartment in Chelsea SW3 or South Kensington SW7. The demand for properties in this price range far exceeds supply. Our challenge was to find a studio property that would make both a good rental investment and was not over priced.
The Perfect Conclusion
Due to our tenacious and persistent approach, keeping in regular contact with all the key selling agents, this highly desirable property was offered to Black Brick before any other buyer. We were able to meet the conditions attached to the sale, which was to exchange contracts within two weeks. We also managed to save our client £15,000 from the asking price, no mean feat in this part of London where studio apartments regularly sell for above the asking price due to high demand.

The Challenge
Our client had previously bought a flat in a development in Fulham without advice.
