Blakewater Solicitors have rapidly acquired a reputation for being market leaders in providing legal services in the niche area of Islamic Home Finance and have thus become one of the largest service providers to this sector in the whole of the UK, boasting hundreds of satisfied clients.
We have developed strong working relationships with all of the Islamic lending institutions and their appointed Solicitors, and are well versed with all the products currently on offer, namely HSBC Amanah by HSBC Bank Plc, Al-Buraq by Bristol & West and the Bank of Ireland in association with Arab Banking Corporation, Manzil with Ahli United Bank and the Home Purchase Plan with The Islamic Bank of Britain.
The Firm has developed a strong national client base within the Muslim Community in the UK with clients from Dover all the way to Glasgow, as well as several international clients from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the UAE.
The lion's share of our work flows from recommendations from fellow professionals, financial institutions, estate agents and most of all, our former clients. We are extremely proud of the volume of work we receive via recommendations through our previous clients.
We believe that the secret to the Firm's success is as a result of our strong commitment towards client care, which in turn manifests itself into excellent service. We explain complex legal matters in a clear, impartial way and deliver advice in a friendly and courteous manner set within an ethical framework.
We are proud to say that we are not members of any national conveyancing panel, who charge Solicitors a referral fee for referring clients - which allows us to keep our costs to a minimum and in return provide you with an increased value for money service. We do not purchase our work from such organizations, rather we rely on our superb reputation to attract potential clients.
In accordance with the firm's overriding business ethic of fairness and accessibility, the firm's principle is to offer Islamic conveyancing at the same cost as conventional conveyancing matters. Despite the temptation to charge in line with our competitors (in some cases up to 3 times more than the standard rate) we have resisted.
The testimonials page on our website merely provides a sample of our satisfied clients, as does the following quote below:-
"I am writing to express my thanks to your firm for the polite, efficient and helpful service provided throughout the conveyancing process for my recent move. It was a delight to use your firm, and I will definitely be recommending you to friends." - Corporate Lawyer Client purchasing and selling in London
Blakewater Solicitors' excellence has been recognised, when in June 2008 we were shortlisted to the last 4 finalists for the HSBC Professional Firm of the year in the Asian Business Federation Tiger Awards.
In order to assist our clients we have undertaken a brief product comparison in respect of the current Shariah Compliant Home Finance Products. Please note this should not be read as definitive legal advice, but merely as an aid to help understand the difference within the market, and please note that there may have been changes since the publication of this article.
Further, the comparison is not intended to provide financial advice in any way but merely help you identify the procedural aspects of what is involved in the process.
