Who Is Hassan Sharif?

Business & Sales Developer at Landlord Certificate London

Hassan Sharif is the Business & Sales Developer at Landlord Certificate London.

He supports the company’s commercial growth by developing relationships with landlords, estate agents, letting agents, block managers, property managers and other professional clients across London and the M25.

A key part of his role is supporting trade and portfolio clients with recurring property compliance requirements.

His professional background combines business development, marketing, property compliance and technical experience within the property and energy-efficiency sectors.

Professional Journey

Hassan completed a Master’s degree in Advertising, Marketing and Media at the University of Essex.

His academic background developed his understanding of marketing strategy, consumer behaviour, brand communication and business growth.

He later applied that knowledge in practical business-development environments, working with customers and professional partners to understand requirements, identify commercial opportunities and build longer-term relationships.

Within property services, Hassan’s role has developed beyond general sales.

His professional background also includes technical experience connected with:

  • Domestic Energy Assessment
  • Fire Risk Assessment
  • Asbestos Surveying
  • Retrofit Assessment
  • Retrofit Coordination

This gives him additional understanding of the services being discussed with clients while keeping his commercial role at LCL separate from inspections or assessments that must be completed by the appropriately appointed competent professional.

Trade and Portfolio Clients

A significant part of Hassan’s work involves supporting professional clients who require recurring property compliance services.

These can include:

  • Estate agents
  • Letting agents
  • Block managers
  • Property managers
  • Portfolio landlords
  • Commercial clients
  • Professional property partners

These customers often manage several properties rather than a single inspection. Their requirements may involve different addresses, renewal dates, access arrangements and service combinations.

Hassan works to understand the wider portfolio requirement and help establish an appropriate commercial route through Landlord Certificate London.

Client and Partnership Development

Hassan supports both new and existing client relationships.

His work includes developing professional partnerships, maintaining trade relationships and identifying opportunities where LCL can support recurring property compliance requirements.

Rather than focusing only on individual bookings, his role also involves building longer-term commercial relationships.

This is particularly relevant for agents and property managers who may need regular electrical, gas, energy, fire safety or other compliance services across multiple properties.

Supporting Property Compliance Enquiries

Property clients do not always know which inspection or certificate they require when they first make contact.

Hassan helps establish:

  • What type of property is involved
  • Which compliance requirement the customer is trying to address
  • Whether one or several services are required
  • Whether the enquiry relates to one property or a larger portfolio
  • Any relevant access or commercial requirements

Once the requirement is understood, the information can be passed to the relevant operational team.

Working With Operations

Hassan works between the commercial and operational sides of the business.

Information gathered during the initial client conversation needs to be communicated clearly to the people responsible for arranging the service.

His role therefore supports the transition from:

Enquiry

Commercial discussion

Service requirement

Booking

Operational delivery

This helps reduce repeated communication and gives the operational team better context when progressing a job.

Technical Background

Hassan’s professional development within property and energy services gives him a broader understanding of the technical environment in which LCL operates.

His background includes Domestic Energy Assessment and Retrofit Assessment, together with experience connected with Fire Risk Assessment and Asbestos Surveying.

This technical knowledge supports his commercial conversations with clients without replacing the professional judgement of the engineer, assessor or surveyor responsible for any particular inspection.

Approach to Business Development

Hassan’s approach is based on understanding the customer before discussing the service.

Effective business development within property compliance depends on:

  • Understanding the actual requirement
  • Communicating clearly
  • Setting realistic expectations
  • Maintaining professional relationships
  • Supporting recurring client requirements
  • Ensuring information is passed accurately to operations

This approach helps LCL build stronger relationships with clients who require ongoing property compliance support.

Contribution to Landlord Certificate London

Hassan contributes to Landlord Certificate London by strengthening the connection between the company and its professional client base.

His role supports:

  • New business development
  • Trade accounts
  • Portfolio relationships
  • Recurring compliance work
  • Commercial partnerships
  • Existing client relationships
  • Client retention
  • Commercial-to-operational handover

His combination of commercial and property-related knowledge supports LCL’s continued development across London and the M25.
