Zainab is head of the Residential Property team in London and specialises in all aspect of residential property transactions.

I encountered lots of issues in my attempts to buy a first home, but was extremely fortunate to have Zainab Dakhil on my side. Had it not been for Zainab’s keen eye, I might have found myself purchasing a property which had obscure clauses which were not in my interests, and caused me financial detriment in the long run. I am now a very happy home owner, and give full credit to Zainab for getting me there. I have no doubt that I will use her again, and recommend her to friends and colleagues.
