The Client
A Nigerian investor.
The Challenge
Our West African client was looking to build a small London property investment portfolio after taking the decision to diversify on some of his existing investments. The brief was for two bedroom apartments, with good lettings potential, obtainable within a strict budget for each purchase. We sourced this three double bedroom apartment with porter service and underground parking for a very competitive price.
The Perfect Conclusion
Black Brick successfully agreed the purchase at below the asking price. We were confident from our overall knowledge of the market that the property was at the right price level for our client and would let to produce the yield required. We have proceeded to manage and oversee a light refurbishment for the client and will be managing the tenancy on an ongoing basis.

We sourced a fantastic three bedroom, south facing, corner aspect, first floor apartment in this prime Chelsea street. The property was unmodernised and via the Black Brick Property Management Service we are organising both the refurbishment and the entire rental process on behalf of our client.

We have been looking after our clients property for him since May 2012. Initially we helped him with the refurbishment, overseeing and managing over £100,000 worth of works.

We identified a large, lateral apartment in Albion Gate, which directly overlooks Hyde Park. The flat needed refurbishment, and through our contacts, we put our client in touch with a top interior design firm. We are also looking after our clients property for him through our Vacant Care Service.
