Shahd Arafat

Shahd Arafat is a consultant solicitor based in our London office. Shahd prides herself on her efficiency and time management. She particularly enjoys working on auction purchases and last-minute remortgages before the variable interest rate kicks in.

A notable case Shahd worked on was acting on a building conversion into 14 flats, where the borrower had to transfer the freehold title between two different entities, create leases, and obtain finance for each flat. Five lenders were involved, and Shahd worked under a tight completion deadline.
