Spear’s Review

‘You’re paying for my experience,’ says Parveen Abbas, partner and head of residential property at Druces.

Specialising in the issues surrounding prime and super-prime property transactions in London and beyond, Abbas serves clients from all over the world, including the Middle East, Far East and United States. She acts for individuals, corporations and family offices in matters relating to leasehold enfranchisement, conveyancing and portfolio management as well as advising on high-value mortgages, and on sharia-compliant financing. 

Many of the transactions Abbas is involved in stretch into the millions and tens of millions of pounds, so it is important to her that her clients feel looked after and safe. After all, she says, ‘Property is one of the most expensive assets you will own.’ Her wide expertise has earned her a loyal client base, and she tells Spear’s: ‘A lot of these clients have followed me for years ... at least over a decade.’
