Our clients were looking for a London pied-a-terre for their family to use.
South Kensington, SW7
Our clients engaged our buying agency service to help them navigate the often complex London property market, give expert guidance on different areas, and to manage their purchase from beginning to end. Amid an uncertain economic backdrop, and limited high-quality stock available, our challenge was to find a four bedroom freehold house in turnkey condition. The focus area was Prime Central London, with good connectivity and close to amenities.
We undertook a thorough search of the market across multiple areas, from Chelsea and South Kensington, up to Bayswater and Hyde Park. Having previewed multiple options on and off the market, we spent time showing our clients the best options across the different neighbourhoods and as the search progressed, South Kensington became the focus due to our client’s historical links with the area, and its vibrant, safe location. Having originally set out to acquire a turnkey property, we quickly found the available options were falling short of our clients brief, and with this started to consider unmodernised properties at a more attractive price point, which would enable our client to renovate to their own specification.
We quickly identified a property located in a prime South Kensington Mews, that offered a fantastic opportunity to renovate into the perfect family home. We engaged a construction team from our trusted black book to cost up the works, and from this, we approached the sellers with a well-structured offer which was accepted at 10% below the guide price. Despite some legal challenges along the way, with an expert legal team and open communication, we are delighted that our clients have now completed and are able to start work on their exciting project.
The Client Experience
“We engaged Black Brick as our buying agents and had the pleasure of working with Dominic and Tom. Following an initial set of viewings over the summer, Black Brick helped us refine the search parameters based on the initial set of viewings and navigate the real estate landscape. Their inputs and advice proved to be both prescient and on-point; ultimately prompting us to reconsider our own initial requirements for a move-in towards renovating an existing property. Throughout the whole process, Dom and Tom have been patient, insightful, delivering service to an exceptional standard and ultimately securing for our family an exceptional deal in an excellent location. Moreover, the transaction had several complications, which Dom and Tom managed with great aplomb and tact. We would – without hesitation – recommend Black-brick to potential buyers.” Mr & Mrs O
