Director Clear-Investments | Build to Rent | Specialised In Dealing With High Net Worth Individuals In UK & Internationally

I help investors secure genuine off-market London property with speed, discretion, and clean title — not recycled listings.

Trusted by family offices, HNWIs, and private investors, I specialise in sourcing prime residential and BTR opportunities across Zones 1–3 — from Chelsea to Hampstead — through direct-to-vendor relationships that others rarely access.

My approach is simple: deliver real access and real execution. Every deal is structured with clarity, legal integrity, and investor pace — working closely with trusted lawyers, finance brokers, and planners to make decisions happen fast.

Clients work with me because I value trust over transaction and precision over pressure. Whether it’s a single apartment or a multi-unit block, I’m focused on long-term partnerships, not one-off deals.

Outside of property, I’m a competitive cyclist — and that mindset of discipline, endurance, and focus shapes how I operate in business too.

If you’re allocating capital in London residential property or want boots-on-the-ground sourcing with genuine access, let’s connect.

I’m back after a two-month break from LinkedIn.

And a few things changed while I was away.

First, LinkedIn feels louder than before.
More opinions. More noise. Less depth.

Second, everyone seems to be in a rush to sell something.

Faster pitches. 
Shorter attention. 
Quicker judgments.

And third, genuine conversations feel rarer.
But when they happen, they matter more than ever.

But more than all of that, something else happened.

When I opened LinkedIn after those two months, I saw hundreds of unread messages.

Messages saying:

“Ifti, are you okay?”
“Where did you disappear?”
“Hope everything is fine on your end.”
“LinkedIn doesn’t feel the same without your insights.”

I didn’t expect that.

And that’s when it hit me.

Over the last year, without being loud or trying to impress, I had built something real.

Not just content.
Not just visibility.

A small, loyal community of people who cared beyond the post.

And that means a lot to me.

So yes, I’m back.
But things will be different this time.

This profile won’t be about surface-level updates or chasing attention.

I’ll be sharing what I’ve learned from 25 years on the ground in Central London property,
the realities people don’t talk about,
the decisions that protect reputations,
and the thinking that helps trusted advisors serve their clients better.

I want this space to be about meaningful conversations,

with people who value discretion, long-term thinking, and doing things the right way, even when it’s not the easiest way.

If you believe relationships matter more than transactions, and clarity matters more than noise,

we’ll get along just fine.

Good to be back.

P.S. - How has the new year been treating you so far?

Everyone talks about off-market property.

Very few understand what it actually means.

In Central London, off-market is not about secrecy or special listings. 

It’s about trust, timing, and long-standing relationships.

Developers don’t “release” inventory quietly by accident. 

They do it because they know 

-> Who can execute
-> Who won’t waste time
-> Who understands the responsibility that comes with introducing the right buyer.

After 25 years on the ground, I’ve learned this:

Access is built long before a deal ever exists.

That’s why relying on generic agents or last-minute sourcing often puts advisors in uncomfortable positions with their best clients.

The real work happens much earlier.

In conversations, credibility, and consistency.

P.S- Do you think off-market is about information, or relationships?
