In the world of prime and super-prime property, luxury isn’t measured by square footage or finishes alone, it’s defined by seamless experiences and absolute trust. Few understand this better than Yasmin Ulhaq, the founder and director of Glenfield Property Management.
Since launching the business in 2021, Yasmin has built Glenfield into one of London’s most trusted names in luxury property management. With integrity, discretion, and a highly personal approach at its core, Glenfield looks after some of the capital’s most exclusive homes and high-profile owners.
We sat down with Yasmin for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, motherhood, and what true luxury really means in 2025.
1. The Leap into Entrepreneurship
Yasmin founded Glenfield during a pivotal moment in her life. As a working mother of two, flexibility wasn’t just a goal, it was essential.
“I wanted freedom: to choose clients I aligned with, to work on my own terms, and to remain present for my children. Glenfield was born from that intention, to build with integrity and purpose.”
2. Early Challenges
While Yasmin’s corporate background gave her credibility, she faced the challenge of shifting perceptions.
“I had to show that Glenfield wasn’t just another management company. We were hands-on and went far beyond the standard service, even offering trial periods to prove our worth.”
3. What Sets Glenfield Apart
At the heart of Glenfield’s success lies a deep commitment to trust and personal connection.
“Our clients are trusting us with more than property; they’re trusting us with peace of mind. I treat every home like it’s my own and every client like family.”
4. Building Long-Term Relationships
Discretion is non-negotiable in Yasmin’s world. Genuine care and small, thoughtful gestures create loyalty that lasts.
“It’s about consistency, honesty, and showing up when it matters most. Many clients stay not because they have to, but because they know we care.”
5. Balancing Business and Family
For Yasmin, structure is key to managing both a thriving business and motherhood.
“These are the grafting years, but I protect time with my children. School runs, dinners, being fully present, it matters. I also want them to see that you can build something of your own while being there for the moments that count.”
6. A Day in the Life
From penthouse deep cleans to midnight client calls, no two days look the same.
“I thrive in the unpredictability. There’s a lot of problem-solving, quick thinking, and discretion. It’s demanding but incredibly rewarding.”
7. Redefining Luxury
Yasmin sees luxury as something beyond material possessions.
“True luxury isn’t an orange box with a ribbon, it’s an experience. It’s feeling valued, understood, and at ease. It’s effortlessness and emotional connection.”
8. Advice for Women in Property
In a male-dominated sector, Yasmin’s message is clear.
“Don’t wait for permission. Your difference is your strength. Bring your full self to the table, your experience, culture, values. Authenticity is power.”
9. Proudest Moments
For Yasmin, pride comes from relationships and family.
“Hearing my daughter say she’s proud or my son saying he’ll take over one day, that’s everything. And of course, the occasional ‘pinch me’ moment managing super-prime homes doesn’t hurt!”
10. The Next Five Years
Looking ahead, Yasmin’s focus is firmly on London.
“I want Glenfield to remain the go-to name for luxury property and lifestyle management here. Our aim is simple: trusted, discreet, five-star service that feels personal because it is.”
From its beginnings in 2021 to its reputation today, Glenfield Property Management reflects Yasmin Ulhaq’s vision of a service built on trust, discretion, and genuine care. For clients, it’s not just property management, it’s peace of mind, delivered with the highest level of integrity.
