Professional Background & Academic Profile
Shayyan Nida Haque serves as a Solicitor within Connaught Law's Real Estate Department, working across residential and commercial property transactions. She plays a vital role in managing property matters from instruction through to completion, conducting meticulous due diligence, and drafting critical legal documents that ensure seamless and efficient processes for clients purchasing, selling, or investing in property.
Shayyan completed her LLB at Queen Mary University of London, one of the UK's leading Russell Group institutions with a nationally recognised law school, where she gained a robust understanding of legal principles and honed the analytical skills that underpin her property law practice. Queen Mary's strong emphasis on critical legal thinking and practical application provided an excellent foundation for the detailed, transaction-focused work she now undertakes across the firm's real estate caseload.

The combination of her academic foundations and vocational qualification has equipped her with the comprehensive legal knowledge, procedural understanding, and professional competence required to manage complex property transactions with confidence and precision throughout her training contract at Connaught Law.

Residential & Commercial Property Transactions
Shayyan's real estate practice encompasses both residential and commercial property transactions, providing her with broad transactional experience across the full spectrum of conveyancing work. On the residential side, she assists with freehold and leasehold purchases and sales, remortgages, transfers of equity, and new-build acquisitions — managing the day-to-day progression of matters to ensure clients experience a smooth and well-coordinated transaction from initial instruction through to completion and registration.
Her commercial property work supports business clients and investors with acquisitions, disposals, and lease negotiations across a range of commercial premises. This includes assisting with commercial due diligence, reviewing heads of terms, preparing completion statements, and liaising with counterpart solicitors, mortgage lenders, and local authorities throughout the transaction process. The breadth of her real estate experience during her training contract provides a comprehensive understanding of how residential and commercial property matters intersect and differ in their procedural and legal requirements.
Throughout her transactional work, Shayyan maintains clear and regular communication with clients, keeping them informed of progress, explaining procedural steps, and managing expectations regarding timelines and requirements. Her organised and methodical approach to case management ensures that deadlines are met, documentation is accurate, and each transaction progresses efficiently toward successful completion.
- Residential Purchases & Sales: Freehold and leasehold transactions including exchange, completion, SDLT submissions, and Land Registry applications
- Commercial Acquisitions & Disposals: Supporting business property transactions with due diligence coordination, contract review, and completion management
- Remortgages & Transfers: Refinancing transactions and transfers of equity with lender liaison and charge registration
- Lease Negotiations: Assisting with commercial and residential lease reviews, assignments, and licence to assign applications
- New-Build Acquisitions: Managing new-build purchase transactions including developer liaison, NHBC documentation, and reservation agreement review
Due Diligence & Legal Document Drafting
A core strength of Shayyan's practice is her meticulous approach to property due diligence — the comprehensive investigation and verification process that protects clients from unforeseen risks when purchasing or investing in property. She conducts thorough title reviews examining ownership history, registered charges, restrictive covenants, easements, and any encumbrances that may affect the property's value or the client's intended use. Her attention to detail in identifying and reporting on title defects ensures clients can make fully informed decisions before committing to transactions.
Shayyan manages the full suite of pre-contract searches and enquiries including local authority searches, environmental searches, drainage and water searches, and mining or contaminated land searches where applicable. She analyses search results carefully, raising additional enquiries with sellers' solicitors where results reveal matters requiring further investigation or clarification. This systematic approach to search management ensures that potential issues are identified early and addressed before exchange of contracts, protecting clients from post-completion surprises.
Her document drafting responsibilities encompass the preparation and review of contracts for sale, transfer deeds, completion statements, certificates of title for lender requirements, and supporting correspondence throughout the transaction process. Shayyan approaches each document with the precision and care that property transactions demand, understanding that accuracy in legal documentation is fundamental to protecting clients' interests and ensuring transactions complete smoothly and without delay.
Shayyan's Professional Commitment: As a solicitor, Shayyan combines her strong academic foundations from Queen Mary University of London and BPP University with the practical transactional experience she is gaining at Connaught Law. Her meticulous approach to due diligence, document drafting, and transaction management ensures clients receive organised, detail-oriented legal support throughout their residential and commercial property matters.
