Gulnara Long

Practice Areas

Gulnara Long established Longview as a specialist advisor for HNW and UHNW clients and their families, focusing on their property strategies. Gulnara has worked with some clients for many years as their businesses and family interests expand and change.

Equipped with an MBA from London Business School, Gulnara has both the broad business background and the specialised knowledge of property to engage in the crucial conversations required to get the client’s brief right. Gulnara collaborates with clients and their financial and legal advisors to understand their specific requirements and expectations. Asking the right questions and really listening, rather than pitching a product, is the most effective way to come up with a strategy that aligns with their family ambitions and financial goals.

As an independent advisor, Gulnara handles a wide variety of client matters. Each project is unique. From connecting with agents and developers, to sourcing and previewing properties, to instructing solicitors and surveyors, there is no typical working day.

Gulnara says, 'Longview’s motto is "Property in Perspective" because we look at every assignment from all angles. Whatever the current market conditions, we focus on helping clients make sense of the opportunities, with practical advice and effective execution support.'

Gulnara has been recommended for the last three years as a leading advisor and is ranked Top Flight among in ‘Property Investment, Finance, Management & Private Office Services' by Spear’s Magazine in its annual Spear’s 500 list.

Clients

What some of Gulnara's clients say:

'Our family has been working with Gulnara for nearly 15 years. We have acquired a number of properties with her help and have always felt that we can rely on her counsel.'

'We were referred to Gulnara for assistance on due diligence and negotiation for a particularly complex and difficult transaction. Her relationship with the other party’s agent and the solicitor, plus her understanding of a competitive situation, resulted in a successful exchange. Without this, we would have lost a property we’d set our hearts on.'

'At every step of the way Gulnara was there to help us understand what was needed and move things forward. We always felt in safe hands. Gulnara is clearly a professional in this industry and would be our first call for property going forwards.'

'Gulnara has helped me to form a strategic view of what has become, over the years, a portfolio of properties in the UK. Through multiple acquisitions and disposals, I’ve achieved solid returns on my investments.'

'What sets her apart is how thoughtful she is and that she always keeps the big picture in mind.'
