US Buyer
The Challenge
Our clients were renting in Kensington and had been searching the market for several months and getting increasingly frustrated with the process. Whenever they identified a property, they were never successful in buying it. They were looking for a family home, in a good location with good entertaining space.
The Perfect Conclusion
Having listened to the brief we identified this off market, 1st floor flat, in prime South Kensington.
Through our contacts we were able to negotiate directly with the vendor, who had a £125,000 higher offer on the property, but we managed to secure the property without having to raise our offer.

A British buyer
The Challenge
Our high profile client was looking for a new family home in the Surrey area. Short on time, he did not want to do any work, and wanted to be able to buy something which he could move into straight away.
The Perfect Conclusion
Through our contacts, we sourced a property entirely off market. By negotiating directly with the vendor we secured the purchase of this impressive detached property with a saving of 9% on the asking price which included the contents at an estimated value of £200,000.

An African Buyer
The Challenge
Our client wanted us to find him an apartment for his elderly Father. The flat had to be secure, have a porter and a lift.
The Perfect Conclusion
We struggled to find anything on the open market that was suitable. Through our extensive connections, we sourced an off market flat in a portered block in the heart of St John’s Wood, for a very reasonable price.

A Middle Eastern Investor
The Challenge
Our high profile client specifically wanted to buy a property on this prime address in Knightsbridge.
The Perfect Conclusion
Through our connections we managed to secure the purchase of this newly refurbished, two bedroom maisonette with large roof terrace before the property ever reached the open market.
The Client
An Indian Investor
The Challenge
Our client was a high profile property developer in India. He wanted to secure a property that he and his family could use when visiting London, but also something that was a good investment. He was not keen on any of the new, modern, very expensive developments in Knightsbridge, but wanted something with period features.
The Perfect Conclusion
Through our contacts, we identified an off market, 1st floor, lateral apartment in Lowndes Square, with 11 ft ceiling heights and views over the garden square. The flat also benefitted from a share in the freehold, porter and parking. Lowndes Square is one of the most prestigious addresses in Knightsbridge, but also extremely difficult to get a good deal in, where many of the flats are overpriced or have a short lease.
The Client
An African Buyer
The Challenge
Our client had previously bought a flat in a development in Fulham without advice. He was extremely disappointed that his flat had not rise in value, despite the rest of prime central London increasing. He wanted us to find him a family home, but was also very focused on not making the same mistake twice and wanted to buy something which would have better prospects for capital appreciation.
The Perfect Conclusion
We sourced a 4 bedroom house in one of London’s most prestigious gated developments in Chelsea – King’s Chelsea. We secured the property for our client before it hit the open market and before any marketing materials were produced. Houses rarely come onto the market in this development, where there are just 11 houses.

The Challenge
Our client was looking to buy a house in Cobham, Esher and the surrounding areas. He specifically wanted something in excellent condition.

The Client
Russian Buyer
The Challenge
Our client had her heart set on this prestigious development in North London. Prior to retaining our services she had previously missed out after being out bid on another flat in the same building. Flats rarely become available in the building, so we had to carefully track availability, and act fast as soon as something became available.
The Perfect Conclusion
Through our contacts, we managed to source an apartment which was not on the open market. Aggressive negotiation resulted in us saving our client £350,000 from the asking price.

The Challenge
Our client wanted a large family flat overlooking Regents Park, but not on a busy street. He also wanted a porter.

The Client
A South African Buyer
The Challenge
Our client already owned property in North West London which he had bought without using a buying agent. He had not seen any uplift in value, despite the rest of the London property market increasing. He was keen to buy another flat, mainly for his own use, but wanted something which had better prospects for capital appreciation.
The Perfect Conclusion
We identified Embassy Court as the ideal solution for our client. We managed to secure one of the last 3 bedroom units, directly from the developer, before the building completed, and saved our clients money from the asking price, despite competition from another buyer.

The Client
A British buyer
The Challenge
Our clients were in the process of selling a large home in North London and wanted to downsize. Before accepting a sales offer on their home they wanted the security of knowing they had somewhere suitable to move to. Their estate agent recommended Black Brick, and with a short space of time, we identified the perfect flat in St Johns Wood, enabling our clients to successfully sell and downsize.
The Perfect Conclusion
Due to a severe lack of supply on the open market, we used our local contacts to source this highly desirable off market penthouse flat, benefiting from a lift, porter and off street parking.
