Hi Yasmin Ulhaq,

I am thoroughly impressed with Glenfield Property Management. Their team consistently goes above and beyond, handling every detail with exceptional professionalism and care. From prompt maintenance responses to transparent communication, they have made property management a seamless experience. Highly recommended for anyone seeking top-notch service and peace of mind.

Frederika Irwin

If not for Yasmin’s dedicated and timely intervention, our family short let for the summer could have gotten off to a bad start. But thanks to her swift responses to all issues and leaving nothing to chance, we were able to settle in.

Valerie, Private Client
CEO

Yasmin is a highly resourceful professional. I engaged her to source a long let in central London. We spoke at length about my requirements, and she understood exactly what I was looking for. She offered a simple, stress-free process. Without Yasmin’s skillful support, I would not have found my perfect home. I cannot recommend Yasmin enough.

H.H Prince. Saud Bin Badr Bin Saud

Friendly, efficient and responsive. Yasmin understood what I expected from a property manager. She has an abundance of expertise and knowledge in this field and really goes above and beyond.

Lyndsey Abbot
Proprietor

We could not have sourced our property without the help of Glenfield. Their search and settling in services were first rate.

Mr and Mrs Sujani, India
Property Developer

Yasmin and Amara have been absolutely marvellous – very on it and a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.

Anne Marie
Finance Director

Thorough, attentive and most importantly her communication was on point. Working with so many agents, I have to say our experience with Yasmin and her team has been short of exemplary. This is just the beginning of an amazing relationship!
