What Black Brick Property Solutions does

Black Brick Property Solutions is a London-headquartered independent buying agency founded in 2007 by Camilla Dell, operating exclusively on behalf of property buyers rather than sellers. The firm targets high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and international buyers (with a particular focus on U.S. clients relocating to London) purchasing properties from £1m upwards, with service coverage spanning Prime Central London, the Home Counties, and the Country & Coast regions (Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Surrey). Since inception the firm has acquired over £2bn of property on behalf of clients, with 73% of properties secured above £3m sourced off-market and an average 8% discount achieved versus asking price. The core service portfolio comprises Buying (exclusive buyer representation with off-market access), Investing (investment property advisory), Rental Search, Managed Sales, Property Management (landlord and private home management), and U.S. to London Relocation.

The business operates on a professional services and managed services revenue model, with fees derived from bespoke buyer representation engagements and ongoing property management mandates. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the firm emphasises that all engagements are tailored to client requirements. There is no proprietary technology platform — the operating stack consists of standard SaaS tools including Reapit for CRM, Campaign Monitor for email, and Google Analytics for web analytics, supplemented by ultra-secure electronic identity verification for AML compliance. The firm's structural compliance includes Client Money Protect certification, The Property Ombudsman membership, and Anti-Money Laundering registration.

Go-to-market is overwhelmingly referral-driven, with over 90% of clients acquired through previous-client referrals or recommendations from leading private banks and financial institutions. The firm supplements this with an active content programme including a property podcast, monthly market updates, area and buyer guides, and co-hosted webinars with private banks such as Barclays. The business is structured as a Limited Liability Partnership (OC325239) registered in England and Wales, with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or subsidiary structure. The team consists of approximately 11 named specialists with over 100 years of combined Prime Central London and country markets experience.

Regional players

• Beauchamp Estates: Beauchamp Estates is a London-focused luxury estate agency concentrated in PCL and super-prime segments. Comparable buyer profile and London-only focus, though traditionally sales-led rather than buyer-side exclusive like Black Brick.
