Independent, personal and confidential,Black Brick’s exclusive service finds and secures properties for private individuals,corporate clients and property investors.

Black Brick is the UK’s leading independent search and acquisitionproperty consultancy, acting solely on behalf of buyers.Operating across London and the Home Counties and with over70 years combined experience, we have the expertise andcontacts to source those elusive, very special residential propertiesthat often never appear on the open market.
Typically, this can represent a quarter of the properties sourcedthrough us. It is this exceptional resource combined with thehighest levels of dedication to our clients’ needs that really setsBlack Brick apart. Buying a property can be a life-changingexperience and involves significant financial commitment, so itmakes sense to engage professional advisors to guide andrepresent you throughout the process. Estate agents representthe interests of sellers and are motivated to maximise the saleprice for their clients. Without representation, the buyer is leftto safeguard their own interests.
Black Brick corrects this imbalance. We are London’s largestindependent buying agency. We are not owned by, or part of, anyother estate agent or financial institution. As a result, Black Brick’sclients can be sure that we are acting exclusively on their behalf,offering truly impartial advice focused purely on the buyer.
Whether you are looking for a home or an investment property,we provide a comprehensive range of services across Londonand the Home Counties. Our handpicked team of highlyexperienced consultants collectively boasts over 70 years’experience in the industry, making us perfectly placed to guideyou through the maze; from sourcing your ideal property andnegotiating the best deal through to helping you raise financeand arrange legal formalities. We can also introduce you to awide range of contacts in the property industry: from lettingsagents and interior designers through to architects, builders andlandscape gardeners.
