Offa Grows Home Purchase Plan and Buy-to-Let team With Four New Hires

Offa, an award-winning British Islamic property finance fintech firm, has announced that it is continuing its hiring spree, boosting its Direct team, covering Offa’s recently launched family-friendly Home Purchase Plan and also its ultra-fast Buy-to-Let product, with four new staff members.

Hamza Mahmood, a seasoned and results-driven finance adviser and broker with a conventional finance background, joins as Home Finance Adviser. He said: “I have joined Offa to use my banking expertise in order to elevate the service provided to customers in the Sharia-compliant finance world.”

Shajia Sultana, also joining Offa as a Home Finance Adviser, said: “It is important for me to work in a role that aligns with my values and principles. Coming from a background as a mortgage adviser, I am able to bring my existing experience into a space that offers ethical, Sharia-compliant solutions, allowing me to support clients in a way that is both professionally fulfilling and personally meaningful.”

Osaama Hussain, experienced in the conventional mortgage industry, has been appointed as Home Finance Support Specialist. He said: “I was keen to join Offa because the company’s values hugely aligned with my own personal values from a spiritual perspective as well as providing a vital service to the community. I believe Offa is just getting started in the Islamic home finance space and I can see myself progressing at the company to be part of what’s to come – providing greater access to halal finance for our customers.”

Nagina Haroon, who has 15 years of experience as a Mortgage Adviser specialising in conventional mortgages, joins as a Home Finance Adviser. She said: “I was keen to transition away from conventional finance and to support customers with halal financing solutions. Offa is a company with major growth plans so it is an exciting time to join.”

The new staff report to Qasim Sajad, Offa’s Senior Home Finance Manager. He said: “These appointments reflect our continued investment in high-calibre talent and our ambition to enhance the breadth and depth of our advice offering. By bringing together advisers with complementary skill sets and varying levels of experience, we are well positioned to support a wide range of clients – from first-time buyers to those with more complex financial requirements.”

The appointments reflect Offa’s continued commitment to sustainable growth, further strengthening its ability to deliver well-structured, Sharia-compliant finance solutions to brokers and property investors across the UK. The company had already more than doubled its headcount to more than 50 in the past year as the business continues to expand its service offering and plans to continue hiring.

In February, Offa launched its innovative and family-friendly Home Purchase Plan, a Sharia-compliant alternative to a conventional residential mortgage, with offers being made within an hour depending upon credit rating and risk criteria thanks to a modern, paperless and ultra-fast application process.

Prior to that, in July 2025, Offa launched an innovative bridge-to-let finance service combining its ultra-fast bridge product with its modern, paperless buy-to-let. The company also recently purchased Bank of Ireland’s Alburaq Sharia-compliant home finance portfolio in a landmark deal.
