Islamic finance

Islamic Finance

Islamic finance continues to grow in UK, and it is now perceived to be real alternative to conventional financing models. This has attracted Islamic investment as more financial institutions develop different products that are in accordance with sharia laws and principles. Sharia finance is therefore a key area when exploring funding options when it comes to real estate. Members of our team have advised investors and many of the leading Islamic banks in the UK and abroad. We have a strong understanding of sharia banking and the various structures used by those compliant sharia banks in the UK and abroad. 

How we can advise you

We can support both investors and financial institutions seeking to structure a transaction utilising an Islamic finance product and arrangements such as:

  • Diminishing Musharakah
  • Murabaha
  • Wakala
  • Ijarah
  • How our team will work with you

    Our Islamic finance team will advise you in relation to your chosen sharia finance structure and identify any potential issues in relation to using the proposed structure for your proposed venture. Where there is an underlying asset involved, our team will carry out the usual due diligence against the property. Our experienced banking team will also help negotiate the terms of any Islamic finance banking document being entered.
