Making a property purchase is one of life's major financial decisions, not an everyday occurrence. That's why it's prudent to enlist the services of seasoned buying agents to navigate and advocate for you during the buying journey. Our team consists of experienced property professionals who handle these transactions daily, ensuring expert guidance and representation every step of the way.
At Black Brick, you’ll be assigned a property consultant who is familiar with your bespoke requirements and the local real estate market. Unlike a realtor, who focuses on securing the highest sale price, a property consultant will put your best interest from start to finish.
Our expert buying agents are dedicated to uncovering hidden gems that suit your lifestyle and meet your investment goals. With our insider knowledge of the South-West market, we’ll provide access to the most exclusive listings and negotiate on your behalf.

Having always been interested in property, Rupert bought his first house when he was at University at the tender age of 19. Since then he has had a long career in property, firstly in Central London in 1989 and then the Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire area through the 1990s, primarily dealing with the Prime property market of St Georges Hill. Then for 20 years as Managing Director of his own successful independent Land and Estate Agency in Esher and Cobham which he eventually sold in 2016.
Passionate about developing and renovating their own houses, including a number of listed buildings, Rupert and his young family relocated to a farm deep in the Devon countryside in 2010 along with their horses, a Labrador and a Dachshund, a herd of Alpacas and an eclectic collection of classic cars. They then set about renovating the farm and its cottages over a period of 7 years, replacing a herd of Aberdeen Angus with a Wedding and Events venue.
Rupert has first hand experience of what it takes to relocate to the West Country, having developed the right contacts, extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of what is required to guide his clients when making the best possible decisions and when it comes to buying the right property in the competitive West Country marketplace.
When not outside walking his dogs, fixing something on the farm or on his boat in Salcombe, Rupert loves skiing, classic cars, shooting and sometimes the odd pint in some of the best pubs in the West Country!

Rupert was able to use his contacts with local Estate Agents, and knowledge of the area to secure viewings on a number of properties over a period of 4 months. As a complete newbie to viewing properties, it was a real learning curve, and although the goal posts moved a number of times throughout this search, Rupert took it in his stride and guided and enabled me to re-focus on what my priorities were. Without a doubt, if I had not had Rupert to steer me it would have been an almost impossible search.
