Caspar at Black Brick was my buyer’s agent. I do not live in the UK and didn’t know how the UK real estate market works. Caspar made it easy and understandable. He listened very carefully to my needs and desires and subsequently he guided me through the whole process, explained what is going at the moment and what is coming. He is always easy to reach and ready to answer any questions or give the advice. And last but by no means least. He found me the property within less then 2 months and it was exactly what I wanted! I can highly recommend him and Black Brick.

My husband and I recently relocated to London this fall and engaged Alex at Black Brick as our search agent. Alex was knowledgeable, kind and helpful in all aspects of our move. We had a short timeframe and specific criteria (ie 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, tall ceilings, sunlight, etc) and Alex proved invaluable in our search. The Central London real estate market is insane. The weak pound Sterling and rising interest rates caused an influx of foreign investors and low inventory creating a super sellers’ market and many bidding wars between buyers. Alex viewed and culled over 40 properties on our behalf, persevering until he found us the perfect flat.

Even though, we had an accepted bid, another buyer started a bidding war. (UK bids are not legally binding until an “exchange of contracts” that usually occurs 6-8 weeks after an accepted bid.) However, this is when Alex’s expertise and charm shone through. Not only did he secure us the flat, exchanging contracts in less than 2 weeks, but we purchased it for less than the competitor’s bid. No doubt, without Alex we would never have found the flat, much less been successful at purchasing it.
We highly recommend Alex and Black Brick to anyone thinking of entering the London real estate market.

Caspar was an amazing help with my property purchase. Everything was very efficient and stress free. He provided multiple shortlisted properties for me to review, arranged 8 property viewings which we managed to complete in under 3 hours, managed all of the negotiations during the offer phase & I completed with a brilliant discount off of the asking price of the property. I would never purchase another property again without the help of Black Brick – their input was completely invaluable.

Camilla, Caspar, Tom and the team at Black Brick were instrumental in helping us find a flat in a perfect location in London for our family. They understood our needs through numerous meetings prior to our visiting London in person, then showed us a full portfolio of homes when we were able to travel . They explained the advantages of the different areas and really understood how our needs would be met. When we liked a certain flat in a building, Tom was able to use his network to find a larger flat in the same building that was off market, but available. We also appreciated the support after our bid was placed and accepted. They were able to connect us to local banks, designers, contractors, property managers–which made the transition much easier.

We engaged Alex at Black Brick as buying agent with our property search in London in Aug 2021. Despite being overseas, having very specific requirements and a fairly tight timeline (because of our impending move back to London), Alex was able to help us find our amazing family home that ticked all of the boxes!

Alex and the Black Brick team are professional, knowledgeable and have a very good sense of what their clients needs are. They have a lot of experience in the property market and will guide you along the way from property search, negotiation, conveyancing and legal process etc, which gave us a great piece of mind. We really appreciate their responsiveness (sometimes answering questions during holidays or odd hours given timezone differences for important matters) and post-completion concierge services as well!

We worked with Tom at Black Brick to source for us a rental property at short notice. This is the message we sent Tom after securing us a most desirable property: On behalf of us both, I wanted to thank you for a job extremely well done. To secure a property for us which was not yet marketed, particularly one so appealing, is a great testament to your value add. Now we shall be able to relax for the weekend knowing we have a lovely place to move to next Friday.

“We didn’t have a clue how to buy a house. All we heard were horror stories and friends feeling overwhelmed and disappointed by their experience. No one ever told us it was easy and great when they bought their home. I asked a friend who just bought a house what he would have done differently and he said ‘I wish I used Black Brick’. It was the best decision we could have made. Tom and Camilla are experts who had our backs throughout the entire process and made it seamless – not just the transaction but all the parts of the puzzle. We had very specific requirements and Tom spent time making sure we were aligned. They saved us a ton of time, money and we learned so much under their guidance. It was also easy and great.”

We have known Camilla Dell and her team of professionals for the past 11 years. They helped us with our first purchase in Prime Central London, and have done so too with two more properties. Why do we keep coming back to Black Brick? A few good reasons. They’re exceptionally knowledgeable about the pulse of property, particularly in PCL. Black Brick’s professional advice is fact-driven and spot-on accurate. Their ability to negotiate and source the right properties at the right price is superb. Without this skill, caveat emptor! Black Brick are honest and frank, they don’t sell hype or push secondary agendas. What you see is what you get and they’ve been consistent like this for the 11 years we’ve dealt with them. Finally, they’re just really pleasant people to deal with. Polite, responsive, friendly. We have no hesitation in recommending them and have written this review with pleasure.

We would heartily recommend Caspar, Tom and the Black Brick team after our experience working with them to purchase a flat in central London. It has been a much longer & more complex than expected journey together due to us living overseas and added Covid challenges but they have continually kept us informed and ensured we felt in expert hands from the beginning. When we finally had an opportunity to come to London, they quickly, professionally, expertly & warmly provided us with the short list and hand held us through the entire process to completion and now on to rental, we look forward to continuing the Black Brick relationship.

“We worked with Black Brick both on the rental and purchasing market for the last 2 years, the initial idea being to rent a property and discover London before settling down on the long term. Caspar did a comprehensive work in both cases to our great satisfaction. His ability to understand and adapt to our very specific needs, his patience, made all the difference. Always available, he advised us wisely with great professionalism, and his extended network allowed us to have a clear view of our targeted market. Black Brick is highly recommended for any search in London, which happens to be a complex and granular market, difficult to access properly otherwise.”

“Our experience finding, viewing, and purchasing a very special London flat was only possible thanks to the Black Brick team. We felt confident that our interests were in superb hands from the very start and marvelled at the team’s patience and skill at navigating what turned out to be a trickier process than we’d expected (Covid, Grade I Listed Building, my husband & I are currently overseas, etc). Black Brick also provided us with introductions to exceptional legal talent and to the architect/builders with whom we’ll work on renovations. Our specific contacts, Alex Oliver and Black Brick founder Camilla Dell were cheerfully available at all times (we’re seven time zones behind London) and didn’t leave anything to chance. We are happy to recommend Black Brick unconditionally to anyone who wants to work with professionals with deep knowledge, discretion, and invaluable experience. We would hire them immediately were we to purchase another UK property”.

“We reached out to Black Brick to help us find a home in Fulham. We didn’t know what was available or what our expectations should be. Caspar took the time to walk us through our options and how they would meet our requirements.

 

Even after we decided on a property, Caspar helped us through a very stressful process with lots of unknowns in the midst of a global pandemic. We had many setbacks but his expertise and guidance was available to us every step of the way and was greatly appreciated”.
