Find out how we can help

Have questions about Private Client Property management services?

Yes, absolutely. Our services for vacant homes will protect your building against thieves and vandals, take care of cleaning and maintenance issues, and ensure you are compliant with your insurance. 

Black Brick’s vacant care service includes weekly inspections and cleaning, 24 hour alarm response and key-holding, access to a network of trustworthy contractors, and the organisation of any bills, mail or deliveries. 

We can also prepare your house for your return by turning on the heating or air conditioning, stocking the fridge with groceries and bringing in fresh flowers

A private client property management service covers all aspects of care – including security, maintenance and cleaning – without the expense of a full-time housekeeper. A more specialised provider also offers services that would typically be beyond the scope of a housekeeper, such as 24 hour alarm response, out-of-hours key-holding for emergency maintenance, and contact with a pool of trusted contractors and suppliers to resolve any issues. 

Using a privately managed service means you can look after your property and remain compliant with your insurance without hiring a housekeeper.

Black Brick have decades of experience in managing buy-to-let property portfolios. Our property management service is a complimentary arm to our overall management offering, which focuses on working with landlords in London.

Absolutely. We specialise in multi-property portfolios and can coordinate management services across areas of London. We ensure seamless upkeep, staffing, and readiness of each home, whether you’re in residence or away.

We understand the importance of discretion. All team members and contractors sign strict non-disclosure agreements, and we operate under protocols designed to protect your identity, location, and personal preferences at all times.

We offer a discreet, concierge-level service tailored specifically for luxury properties and discerning clients. Our team is experienced in managing estates, vacation homes, and high-end residences with the utmost privacy, efficiency, and attention to detail. Every aspect is customised to reflect your standards and lifestyle.

It would not be possible for us to own a second home in London without the experience, competence, and professionalism of Black Brick’s Property Management service. The icing on the cake is that the individuals who help look after our flat are genuinely kind and lovely people who will stop at nothing to make sure we are happy and comfortable — an extraordinary team providing extraordinary service.

Your Journey to the Countryside: A Step-by-Step Relocation Guide

Relocating to the countryside is an exciting opportunity to explore a new way of life, surrounded by beautiful landscapes and welcoming communities. At Black Brick, we understand that moving home is about more than just finding a property—it’s about creating a lifestyle that suits your needs. Our experienced, supportive approach ensures a seamless transition, guiding you through every stage of your relocation with tailored assistance.

1. Initial Consultation & Needs Assessment

We start with a detailed conversation to understand what matters most to you—whether it’s space for a growing family, access to excellent schools, proximity to nature, or a peaceful retreat from city life. By carefully assessing your priorities, we lay the groundwork for a smooth and well-planned relocation. Alternatively, we have a history of working with downsizers, looking for a more manageable property that meets their evolving needs.

2. Tailored Property Search

With your preferences in mind, we conduct a bespoke property search, offering access to exceptional homes, including exclusive off-market opportunities. Whether you’re seeking a countryside cottage, a coastal retreat, or a family home in a charming village, we carefully shortlist properties that align with your vision. To make the process effortless, we arrange and conduct viewings on your behalf, offering both virtual and in-person tours.

3. Financing & Tax Guidance

A move to the countryside can involve new financial considerations, from mortgage arrangements to local property taxes. We connect you with trusted financial experts who provide clear guidance, ensuring that every aspect of your move is well-planned. Our network of specialists is also on hand to advise on legal and practical matters, helping you navigate any administrative details with ease.

4. Neighborhood Selection & Schools Advice

Choosing the right location is about more than just the home itself—it’s about finding a community that feels like the perfect fit. Whether you’re looking for a vibrant village atmosphere, excellent local schools, or easy access to nearby towns and transport links, we help you explore the best options for your lifestyle. Our expert guidance ensures that you and your family feel settled and supported in your new surroundings.

It would have been very hard without you, Rupert. Thank you so much for all your understanding which I know was severely tested on one occasion at least! It was such a huge comfort for me to know that you were there, so easy to talk to, so kind and patient. Your knowledge and expertise were invaluable to us….you have been a wonderful source of advice, guidance and encouragement throughout the process. We always knew that you had our best interests at heart…and seriously think we would have given up without your steady encouragement and support.

Client Testimonials

Frequently Asked Questions.

Buying agents give you, quite frankly, an unfair advantage over using traditional methods of property search.
A wealth of knowledge, specialised relocation experience and unrivaled access to the market means every step of your property journey will be taken care of to an exceptional standard.

Our team understands that choosing the right area is a priority for families or clients looking to move out to the country. We offer personalised guidance to help narrow your search down to a community and environment that works best for you. Each coastal and countryside location offers it’s own highlights with unique appeal, and our agents are here to help fit you to the most attractive match. With an enormous portfolio of relocated clients, and history working in more rural UK destinations, Black Brick offers an exceptional wealth of knowledge to help make those all-important decisions.

Families moving to the countryside will often need to consider schooling and education. Finding the right schools can be stressful and challenging for families to tackle alone, so our service aims to handle this potential obstacle, offering a wealth of experience and connections to a network who can help. We’re proud to partner with teams across the country who work hard to ensure this process runs smoothly alongside your relocation.

There’s no need to enlist a traditional estate agent when using a property Buying Agent. We are in constant contact with the local Agents across numerous counties, sending out our confidential client requirements to over 1000 Agents each month. We have an enviable and very exclusive book of contacts and professional partners, who can assist us and our clients every step of the way.

There are no ‘new’ costs specific to relocation that wouldn’t apply in a normal property purchase. A Buying agent such as Black Brick would help explain all costs involved, which are likely to include things such as stamp duty and CGT. If the relocation involves running a business, there will be new financial considerations and relief rates which would need to be explored separately.

No, not always. However, over 60% of our properties that we sourced for our relocation clients were off market, completing discreet and confidential purchases across coast and country.

We advise our clients right from the start of their property search to find the right community for them, whether they are looking to be near the best surf, the coastal footpath or perhaps near a good village pub. We can also introduce them to various community groups through our contacts which we recognise as key for settling in a relocated family. 

We absolutely do. Our relocation service is great for families and individuals looking for a change, often from a hectic city lifestyle. But we also work with many clients who are in a position to explore the best of both worlds. We provide property buying services for many different scenarios, with second home purchases being one of the most sought-after.

Why London is the Perfect Destination for U.S. Relocators

The process of buying or renting a property in the UK is very different to the U.S. With no MLS, buyers and renters without a buying agent have to register with multiple estate agents to try to find the right property. Estate and lettings agents in the UK work for the seller or landlord and are focused on selling or renting their direct listings. At Black Brick, we only ever work for the buyer or tenant, saving you valuable time, giving you access to off-market listings, handling offers and negotiations and offering you personalized relocation support from start to finish.

As well as finding you your new London home, Black Brick clients benefit from access to our trusted partnerships for tax and legal guidance, banking and finance options and schools advice. Whatever stage you are at in your journey to the UK, Black Brick is here to make your move effortless and rewarding. Living in London or other highly desirable parts of the UK as an American has never been easier with our expert team guiding you every step of the way.

London’s cosmopolitan lifestyle, world-class schools, and exclusive neighborhoods make it an ideal city for U.S. families and investors.

Excellent Connectivity.

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 based in the US). 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 contact, Camilla Dell was cheerfully available at all times (we’re seven time zones behind London) and didn’t leave anything to chance.

We start with an initial consultation to determine everything you want from a property, from price point to square footage to local amenities. We’ll also advise you on the current property market and suggest the best areas to invest your money in.

The difference between an online listing and seeing it in person can be night and day. We thoroughly research and view every property on your behalf, shortlisting those that match your requirements.

Nothing beats finding the perfect property within your budget. We negotiate with the seller on your behalf to get you the best price possible. We understand the property market inside and out and use this to our advantage in negotiations.

Frequently Asked Questions.

A property finder is someone who locates properties that meet your requirements, preferences, budget, and other criteria. At Black Brick, our property finders have extensive knowledge of the London property market and will inspect every home before you see it to ensure you don’t waste any time. 

We create a list of properties that match your specifications, which we believe you will love, and we will accompany you to view them to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible. 

Once you find the right property, our property finders will be there to support you every step of the way. They will handle the negotiations and legalities, taking all the stress away from you and ensuring a smooth and successful property purchase. 

A property finder represents and acts for the buyer – their best interests are to find the buyer the best property at the best price. On the other hand, an estate agent represents and acts for the seller – their best interest is getting as much money for the seller as possible.

Property finders streamline finding the perfect property by taking charge of finding, viewing, negotiating, and handling the legal aspects for you. This saves you a lot of time, and with their extensive market knowledge and deep understanding of the local area, they can help you find the best opportunities that meet your requirements.  

They also have access to exclusive properties—in fact, one in four of the properties they show never appear on the open market.

Buying Agent Surrey

What Makes Surrey Special?

The Surrey Hills is amongst the most beautiful swathes of open countryside in the UK – most famously, Box Hill, immortalised by Jane Austen in her 1815 novel Emma. But the hills also contain fabulous walking and cycling trails, follies and historic houses to explore.

What is so extraordinary about the hills is that all natural beauty is to be found just 20 miles from central London.

Surrey house hunters can choose from vibrant market towns like Guildford and Farnham, or glorious villages like Shere, where the Kate Winslet/Cameron Diaz film The Holiday was shot. There are almost-London locations like Walton-on-Thames, for those who don’t want to be too far away from the capital, and private gated estates like The Wentworth Estate for those who value privacy and security.

Its a real pleasure for us to be the property agent families trust to find forever homes in Surrey, and the firm downsizers turn to when the time has come to move into a thriving town with plenty of amenities on the doorstep.

Whatever your reasons for looking to the Home Counties in your property search, Black Brick are the buying agent Surrey clients need to find hidden gems and pre-market investment properties in one of the UK’s best loved counties.

Camilla Dell

Camilla Dell is Managing Partner and founder of Black Brick Property Solutions LLP and has worked in the London property market since 2002. She is highly experienced in meeting the needs of demanding domestic and international property buyers. Along with her team, Camilla has sourced multiple properties across the Surrey region, ranging from new build houses in St Georges Hill, Wentworth Estate, Ascot and Coombe, to large country estates in excess of £40 million.

During her career to date, Camilla worked for two of London’s largest and most successful estate agencies, Foxtons and Knight Frank, before setting up Black Brick in January 2007. Since then, Camilla has grown the firm from a two-person start-up to one of London’s largest, full service, independent buying consultancies. The Black Brick team collectively boasts over 100 years’ experience in the London property market and has successfully sourced and acquired more than £1.5 billion of residential property for private clients.

Camilla’s professional, energetic and tenacious approach to property finding, her total dedication to her clients’ needs and her expert negotiation skills have won her huge loyalty and trust amongst her clients who include some of the world’s most successful businessmen and entrepreneurs.

Why Use a Buying Agent?

Black Brick is proud to be the first-choice buying agent for Surrey.

Clients can trust our experts to find ways into this competitive property market, which includes some of the UK’s most sought-after commuter locations.

The crucial difference between a buying agent and an estate agent is that we are on your side. Estate agents represent sellers, and have a financial incentive to achieve the highest possible selling price for a property.

Black Brick offers an in-depth service and will guide you through every stage of a house hunt, from initial viewings, to advice about offers and negotiation.

We work with local law firms so you are well represented throughout the conveyancing process. This will protect your investment and make sure there are no hiccups along the way to completion. And our service doesn’t stop when you collect the keys. If you want your new property upgraded we can also put you in touch with interior and garden designers who can help create your dream home.

Property Finder Surrey

Black Brick brings together more than 100 years of collective experience. Our experts have a forensic knowledge of the housing market in the south east; we know where to live and how much to pay.

This makes us the obvious choice of property agent for Surrey. House hunters can trust us to give them a competitive advantage in a crowded market where many homes are sold off market and never find their way onto the property portals.

More than 10,000 properties changed hands across Surrey last year, a third of which were detached houses, according to the Land Registry. Around 1,500 of Surrey’s properties were sold for £1m+ and in some cases fetched far more. Former footballer John Terry sold his Surrey mansion in May 2023 for £23m. Terry bought 2019 for just over £4m and then carried out a major renovation.

With the help of a Black Brick existing Surrey residents, new arrivals, and investors can navigate one of the highest value and most prestigious markets in the UK.

Having always been interested in property, Rupert bought his first house when he was at University at the tender age of 19. Since then he has had a long career in property, firstly in Central London in 1989 and then the Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire area through the 1990s, primarily dealing with the Prime property market of St Georges Hill. Then for 20 years as Managing Director of his own successful independent Land and Estate Agency in Esher and Cobham which he eventually sold in 2016.

Passionate about developing and renovating their own houses, including a number of listed buildings, Rupert and his young family relocated to a farm deep in the Devon countryside in 2010 along with their horses, a Labrador and a Dachshund, a herd of Alpacas and an eclectic collection of classic cars. They then set about renovating the farm and its cottages over a period of 7 years, replacing a herd of Aberdeen Angus with a Wedding and Events venue.

Rupert has first hand experience of what it takes to relocate to the West Country, having developed the right contacts, extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of what is required to guide his clients when making the best possible decisions and when it comes to buying the right property in the competitive West Country marketplace.

When not outside walking his dogs, fixing something on the farm or on his boat in Salcombe, Rupert loves skiing, classic cars, shooting and sometimes the odd pint in some of the best pubs in the West Country!

Why Relocate to Somerset?

Aside from the agreeable weather and mild temperatures, Somerset has the perfect mix of family-friendly activities and serene countryside retreats. You can unwind amongst a picturesque backdrop all whilst benefiting from one of the South-West’s best real estate markets.

Quench your thirst at one of Somerset’s many cider mills and follow up by sampling one of the region’s most celebrated delicacies – cheddar cheese. From creamy and mild to sharp and aged, there’s a variety to suit every palette.

In Somerset, you can embrace the local community by visiting charming market towns like Shepton Mallet or popping into the countless independent shops scattered around nearby villages.

If you’re more of the outdoorsy type, Somerset is home to some of the nation’s best hiking trails and most dramatic cliffside landscapes. You’ll never tire of the endless cultural attractions that showcase the best of Somerset’s rural charm.

Investing in Somerset’s Real Estate Market

Investing in Somerset’s real estate market is easier than you think. All you need is a qualified and experienced buying agent to ensure a stress-free and successful journey.

At Black Brick, our dedication to customer satisfaction and exclusive access to premium listings ensures every client finds their perfect match. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a first-time buyer, our comprehensive approach to property investment will make any complex procedure feel like a breeze.

If you’re ready to immerse yourself in the best that country living has to offer, Black Brick can provide a portfolio of properties that promise an ample return on your investment while significantly increasing your quality of life.

Rupert was able to use his contacts with local Estate Agents, and knowledge of the area to secure viewings on a number of properties over a period of 4 months.  As a complete newbie to viewing properties, it was a real learning curve, and although the goal posts moved a number of times throughout this search, Rupert took it in his stride and guided and enabled me to re-focus on what my priorities were.  Without a doubt, if I had not had Rupert to steer me it would have been an almost impossible search.

Why Use a Buying Agent?

Without an experienced buying agent, Devon house hunters are at the mercy of estate agents, who may not always act in their best interests. While real estate agents aim to maximise profits for sellers, buying agents prioritise finding the perfect properties for clients and ensuring stress-free transactions.

At Black Brick, you’ll be assigned a specialised buying agent who prioritises your needs and guides you through the complexities of the South-West real estate market.

We’ll create a bespoke portfolio full of the region’s most hidden gems and give you first access to properties that are yet to hit the market.

Whether you’re planning for a change of scenery, searching for the optimal rental property, or simply want a holiday home to call your sanctuary, Black Brick will put your wish at the centre of our search strategy.

Property Finder Devon

With over 100 years of collective experience and immeasurable ties to the local real estate market, Black Brick is the first-choice property finder Devon buyers need to secure their ideal home. The region’s unrivalled beauty and outdoor allure are just part of what’s driving the surge in property prices.

According to Land Registry data, Devon experienced over 13,000 property transactions a year between 2021 and 2023. During this time, the average price of a detached house rose by approximately 20%, from £410,524 to £491,182.

Properties in Salcombe, Devon, boasted an average selling price of £1,244,025, placing the town at the pinnacle of the UK’s premier coastal destinations. Salcombe goes beyond its upscale price tag. It also boasts the nation’s most notable capital gain increase of the last decade – an impressive surge of 123% from 2012 to 2022.

But it’s never too late to invest. With a trusted property agent by their side, Devon buyers can still secure a sweet deal and benefit from one of the UK’s most rapidly appreciating real estate markets.

Having always been interested in property, Rupert bought his first house when he was at University at the tender age of 19. Since then he has had a long career in property, firstly in Central London in 1989 and then the Surrey, Sussex and Hampshire area through the 1990s, primarily dealing with the Prime property market of St Georges Hill. Then for 20 years as Managing Director of his own successful independent Land and Estate Agency in Esher and Cobham which he eventually sold in 2016.

Passionate about developing and renovating their own houses, including a number of listed buildings, Rupert and his young family relocated to a farm deep in the Devon countryside in 2010 along with their horses, a Labrador and a Dachshund, a herd of Alpacas and an eclectic collection of classic cars. They then set about renovating the farm and its cottages over a period of 7 years, replacing a herd of Aberdeen Angus with a Wedding and Events venue.

Rupert has first hand experience of what it takes to relocate to the West Country, having developed the right contacts, extensive knowledge and a deep understanding of what is required to guide his clients when making the best possible decisions and when it comes to buying the right property in the competitive West Country marketplace.

When not outside walking his dogs, fixing something on the farm or on his boat in Salcombe, Rupert loves skiing, classic cars, shooting and sometimes the odd pint in some of the best pubs in the West Country!

It would have been very hard without you, Rupert. Thank you so much for all your understanding which I know was severely tested on one occasion at least! It was such a huge comfort for me to know that you were there, so easy to talk to, so kind and patient. Your knowledge and expertise were invaluable to us….you have been a wonderful source of advice, guidance and encouragement throughout the process. We always knew that you had our best interests at heart…and seriously think we would have given up without your steady encouragement and support.

Here are the answers to the questions that we’re often asked about vacant property care…

You can protect a vacant property by ensuring you do the following: 

  • Arrange regular inspections to ensure you are compliant with your insurance.
  • Leave your key with someone you trust, so the property can be accessed for maintenance and emergencies.
  • Make arrangements for your mail to be collected or redirected, as a build-up of post could make your house a target. 
  • Hire a regular cleaner to prevent an accumulation of dust and dirt that might otherwise be hard to remove.

A vacant property service will take care of all these elements and more, without the expense of hiring a full-time housekeeper.

A property management company oversees the day-to-day care of a property and its occupants, ensuring everything runs smoothly without requiring the owner’s direct involvement.

Whether you’re a landlord seeking professional oversight or a private client wanting a seamless, hands-off experience, using a property manager ensures your property—and the people living in it—are looked after to the highest standard.

Managed Sales

We’ll get you results.

At Black Brick, we are renowned for our expertise as a property buying agency, assisting clients in acquiring exceptional residential properties in prime locations. However, our commitment to being trusted advisors goes beyond just the buying process. Recognising the growing demand from our clients for a comprehensive solution to selling their properties led us to creating our Managed Sale Service.

The key to obtaining the best price for your property is ensuring that it is priced correctly, marketed effectively, and presented to the right potential buyers. The number of estate agents in London has risen significantly over the last few years with new research showing there are now over 7155 estate agents operating in London alone, ranging from large corporates to medium and smaller independents through to the new self-employed broker models. How do you know which agent to choose? Should you stay on or off market?

As buying agents, we have a unique position in that we know who the best estate agents are and what strategies work best. We know who is selling and who isn’t and can use this knowledge to give you a distinct advantage to help formulate the best sales strategy for your property. We also take the headache out of selling property. We oversee the entire process, from preparing your property for sale, market advice and agent selection, managing agents’ performance, vetting of buyers and offers, negotiation and overseeing the legalities through to managing your move – all from a single point of contact.

Just like our property search service, we have a low volume approach, ensuring each client receives the utmost attention and personalised service. By choosing Black Brick to assist with your sale, you can rest assured that you have a dedicated partner who will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome.

How can we help?*

Here are the answers to the questions that we’re often asked about managed sales…

A managed sale is one in which the entire process is overseen by a property consultant like Black Brick, from initial market advice through to managing the move.

A traditional property sale relies on one appointing one or two estate agents. In a managed sale, the entire process is overseen by a property consultant such as Black Brick, who works proactively on your behalf: in complete confidence, if required. Depending on the property and your circumstances we will carefully advise you on the best way to approach the sale.

In a managed property sale, your entire transaction is overseen by one property consultant. We liaise with multiple selling agents, buying agents and a range of other professional contacts, actively seeking out the right potential buyers, negotiating the best deal and using a wealth of experience and contacts to ensure a smooth transaction. If required, your entire sale can be managed with complete confidentiality.

It is a valid concern to wonder if a buying agent may be conflicted when it comes to selling properties. At Black Brick, we don’t handle many sales and rarely sell directly, so the potential for conflict is minimal. It’s rare that a managed sale property is suitable for a Black Brick retained buying client, and when that does happen, we maintain transparency and clear communication with our clients. We disclose any potential conflicts of interest and ensure that our clients are fully aware. This transparency helps build trust and allows clients to make informed decisions.

It’s important to do thorough research and choose a buying agent who has a strong reputation, a track record of success, and clear ethical guidelines. By working with a reputable buying agent, clients can have confidence that their interests are being prioritized throughout the buying and selling process.
