Meet Hafsa

I advise on all aspects of residential property transactions, from acting for freehold and leaseholders to first time purchasers and high value land estates.  I also work with investment companies to increase their portfolio of properties.

My clients include individuals, HNWs, trustees and overseas clientele.  I am focused on ensuring that my clients receive a service tailored to their needs so that they achieve their desired result.

The service that I provide is personal and flexible to ensure that my clients are confident that their sale and/or purchase is carried out thoroughly and efficiently.  As well as drafting, reviewing and negotiating all the necessary documentation, I will conduct the relevant in-depth searches on my client’s behalf to minimise any risks during their transactions.

I enjoy travelling and experiencing different cultures and cuisines.  There are still several countries that I wish to explore on my bucket list!  I am also a keen writer and hope one day to be able to write a novel… I will finish your purchase first though!

Experience highlights 

  • Completing on a unique and stylish riverside property situated in an enviable location on the River Thames which has appeared in many publications and noted as the 'boldest smaller county house in recent years'
  • Assisting the corporate team in the acquisition of a £7m property in Kensington
  • Acting for HNW individuals in buying and selling properties in prime London locations as well acting for investment companies in increasing their portfolio

Testimonials

“An excellent conveyancing service from Hafsa. Quite a few problems with this sale but Hafsa dealt with each matter very quickly, calmly and made what could have been a very worrying time easy. I cannot praise her efficiency and knowledge highly enough. In these times when everything is taking longer and it is harder to get things done, Hafsa kept me confident that matters were being resolved and could not have been more of a pleasure to deal with.”

“Hafsa Umarji is absolutely brilliant! We sold and bought recently a property with her help and her customer service was excellent, which saved us from making some big mistakes. She’s very professional, honest and knowledgeable. And a very good recommendation she gave us was to use a surveyor to avoid future problems and costs.”

She has made my first time purchase smooth, and stress free and has really gone above and beyond to ensure best experience for client. No matter how many times I emailed her, she would alway take time to explain everything which gave me so much reassurance and confidence in the process. Many thanks Hafsa, forever grateful for your expertise and guidance!”

“I cannot recommend Hafsa U. highly enough! She recently helped me purchase my apartment, and we closed in a record 8 weeks—an impressive feat made possible by her expertise and dedication.

From day one, Hafsa was incredibly responsive, providing daily updates and keeping me informed every step of the way. She made sure I fully understood all the legal jargon, breaking everything down clearly and patiently answering all my questions. Her ability to anticipate potential issues and address them proactively was impressive. Her commitment to my best interests and her sharp negotiation skills were invaluable throughout the process.”
