The Client
A South African Buyer
The Challenge
Our clients were looking to relocate to London from South Africa. Unfamiliar with London, we spent time showing them different neighbourhoods and educating them on areas and pricing.
The Perfect Conclusion
“We showed our clients a number of properties in different areas so they could understand the variation in property styles and prices. Our clients fell in love with Holland Park.
When we viewed Ilchester Place, the property was already under offer with another purchaser at £16.5m with a delayed completion. We offered £16.25m (£2,365 per square foot) with a 5 day exchange which was accepted due to our relationship with the selling agent.
Another house on same road that requires refurbishment subsequently came onto the market at £3,266 per square foot, demonstrating our ability to achieve the very best deals for our clients.”

Our client was looking to buy a 3 bedroom flat in a portered block with parking in Kensington for his sister. We were on a very tight budget for the requirement, making the search very challenging.
The Perfect Conclusion
We sourced this 3 bedroom apartment in a very desirable portered block just off Kensington High Street.
The property had huge interest from other buyers. but we managed to secure it at the asking price and avoided going to sealed bids. This was due to our relationship with the selling agent and presenting our client as the best buyer for the property.

A repeat Black Brick client who we initially found a large family apartment for, came back to us wanting us to source a property for his son. The flat needed to be sufficiently close to the family flat, but far enough away for the son to have his independence
The Perfect Conclusion
We sourced a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom flat in a purpose built block with secure underground parking. Despite fierce competition from 2 other cash buyers, we managed to avoid a best bid scenario due to our relationship with the selling agent and secured the property at the asking price.

The Challenge
Our client was a sophisticated investor looking to increase his significant existing property portfolio in Mayfair. Before engaging us to act for him, he had been looking on his own but had not found any opportunities which were good enough.

Due to our relationship with the agent we were able to agree the deal quickly and at an attractive price as they knew our client would perform. We managed to save our client £300,000 from the asking price. The property was also tenanted, at £1350 per week, giving our client a 4.25% gross yield from day one.
