Meet Zahra

I joined Lawrence Stephens as a Senior Associate in 2025, with over 10 years of experience in residential and commercial real estate. I have extensive experience in residential and commercial property and real estate finance, having acted for landlords and tenants, developers, investors, high-net worth individuals and lenders, including specialist lenders.

I am committed to providing my clients with a pragmatic, personable, and efficient service by understanding their needs to meet their goal.

Outside of work I enjoy baking, travelling the world, going to gigs and concerts and spending time with my family and friends.

Experience highlights

  • Acting for a bridging lender on a property refinance in Central London for £4m.
  • Acting for a HNW client on the purchase of a property worth £6m.
  • Acting on a refinance of a portfolio of ten residential properties.

Testimonials

Zahra represented me for both the sale of my property and purchase of my new one. Her counsel was best in class – she was efficient, helpful and always ensuring things ran as smoothly as possible. Cannot recommend her highly enough

– Private client

We have used Zahra on two occasions one to secure a bridge loan and the second for conveyancing and cannot recommend her enough.
