Our Client
Our client was looking for a three bedroom property with a garden suitable for pets.
The Challenge
The property had to be within walking distance of an apartment their staff were currently renting. This meant we were searching within a very small radius. In addition, finding properties with Landlords that are happy to allow pets can be a challenge.
The Perfect Conclusion
We successfully agreed the rental of this attractive townhouse on Chepstow Road at £600 less than the monthly asking price, saving our clients an impressive 7% from the asking price rent. As part of our negotiations, we also managed to get the landlord to agree to carry out a light refurbishment before our clients moved in, and arranged for a garden landscaping company to work on the garden. This involved speaking to relevant contractors, arranging quotes and securing the best price, all as part of our service.
Arundel Gardens
Our Client
A UK Family
The Challenge
We originally sourced this wonderful family home for our clients back in 2012. They came back to us in 2016 to help assist with the sale as they wanted to relocate to North London to be closer to good girls schools. 2016 has been a tough sales market, with increased levels of stamp duty and potential buyers concerned about Brexit, selling properties at this level is more challenging than ever before.
The Perfect Conclusion
By carefully marketing the property to Black Brick’s extensive network of other buying agents we successfully identified a suitable buyer for our clients and once under offer, the sale progressed through to a swift exchange and completion. Our clients were delighted and we are also now assisting them with their onward property search.
Clarendon Road
The Client
A French Client.
The Challenge
Our French client needed to relocate to London as a result of the new tax regime in France.
The Perfect Conclusion
As the client didn’t know London that well, we proposed that she started with a three month short let option in Notting Hill before committing to a longer term tenancy.
Westbourne Grove
The Client
A French Buyer
The Challenge
Our clients were French nationals, but living in Dubai and looking to relocate to London. They had twins and needed lateral space, close to good schools. They also had to have parking. They had been looking on their own for a year and had got thoroughly fed up with the buying process and also coming under increasing pressure to find a property.
The Perfect Conclusion
We secured our clients a flat which met with all of their requirements, in a short space of time. We also managed to save them £150,000 from the asking price, just over a 5% saving. We paid £1286 per sq foot and a similar property on the same street sold for £2000 per sq ft at the same time.
