Our Purpose

Dashers Property Solutions was born from experience — not theory.

Dahlia and Shervin have spent years working across different sides of the property industry, facing many of the same challenges their clients face today.

At just 28, Dahlia was running her own estate agency, leading a team of five and working across almost every part of the business. From sales and lettings to property management and mortgages, she was hands-on with both the day-to-day operation and the people behind it — landlords, tenants, buyers, sellers and investors.

One of her greatest challenges was finding reliable contractors — people who would turn up when they said they would, communicate properly, charge fairly and deliver work to the standard expected. It was a problem she encountered repeatedly while trying to provide the level of service her own clients expected.

Alongside running the agency, Dahlia built her own property portfolio and experienced life as a landlady first-hand — managing tenants, refurbishments and maintenance, navigating legislation and compliance, and dealing with the unexpected problems that inevitably come with property ownership.

Much of what she learned came from being directly involved: solving problems, learning on the job and building trusted relationships along the way.

Dahlia also shares her knowledge and experience through public speaking and by teaching women how to start investing in property. Through this work, she helps women build their confidence, understand the opportunities available to them and take practical steps towards creating their own property portfolios.

Shervin’s experience developed from another side of the industry.

As an Area Manager for Barnard Marcus, he was responsible for offices across North West London, leading teams, managing performance and developing a strong understanding of what estate agents, landlords and property professionals need in order to deliver results.

His career subsequently expanded well beyond traditional estate agency.

Over the years, Shervin has worked across residential and commercial property, investment sales, leasing, social housing, portfolio transactions, acquisitions and disposals, HMOs, residential blocks and larger investment opportunities.

A significant part of his work has involved bringing together landlords, property owners, investors, registered housing providers, operators, local authorities and specialist management companies — often creating solutions where traditional sales or letting routes may not have worked.

He has been involved with opportunities ranging from individual investment properties and HMOs through to substantial residential blocks, mixed-use developments, portfolio sales and commercial investments.

His experience also includes negotiating guaranteed-rent arrangements, long-term leases, investment acquisitions and disposals, and helping landlords and investors position their properties for different areas of the market.

Through his work in social housing, Shervin has developed experience working with registered providers, housing operators and local authorities, understanding the importance of compliance, property standards, dependable management and creating arrangements that work commercially for all parties.

At the same time, Shervin became a property investor himself, gaining first-hand experience of HMOs and other investment properties.

This gave him the perspective of both a senior property professional and a landlord — understanding the commercial pressures of running successful property businesses while personally dealing with tenants, maintenance, compliance, contractors, refurbishments and the realities of protecting and improving an investment.

Much of Shervin’s work today is built around one of the most important parts of property: relationships.

Over many years in the industry, he has developed a network across estate agency, investment, social housing, property management, development and professional services.

Often, the value Dashers can provide is not simply completing a job or marketing a property. It is knowing who to call, how to structure an opportunity and how to bring the right people together to make something happen.

Together, Dahlia and Shervin’s experience spans estate agency, sales, lettings, mortgages, property management, social housing, investment sales, leasing, acquisitions, disposals, portfolio transactions, HMOs, residential blocks, commercial property, refurbishments, maintenance, compliance, leadership, landlord life, public speaking and property education.

They have experienced property as agents.

They have experienced it as landlords.

They have experienced it as investors.

They have experienced it as people responsible for managing teams and delivering for clients.

And they have experienced what happens when contractors, communication or relationships fail.

That combination of experience is what shaped Dashers Property Solutions.

But the most important lesson they have both learned is that property is ultimately a people business.

The right relationship can solve a problem.

The right introduction can create an opportunity.

The right contractor can protect an investment.

The right operator can transform the performance of a property.

And the right people, working together with integrity, can completely change the experience of owning, managing or investing in property.

That belief became the foundation of Dashers Property Solutions.

Dashers exists to bring together people, property and opportunity — solving problems, creating connections and taking responsibility for getting things done.

Whether that means finding the right contractor, resolving a property issue, introducing an investor to an opportunity, helping structure a lease, placing a property with an operator or simply connecting two people who should be speaking to each other, the principle remains the same:

Understand the problem. Find the right people. Get it done.

For Dahlia and Shervin, integrity is not simply a company value.

It is the principle on which they have built their careers, their relationships and now Dashers.

They believe business should be built for the long term — doing what they say they will do, communicating openly, treating people’s properties and investments as if they were their own and creating relationships where everybody has the opportunity to succeed.

They also understand that property rarely goes entirely to plan.

Problems happen. Tenants change. Transactions become complicated. Buildings require work. Deals need restructuring.

What matters is having people around you who take responsibility and find solutions when things become difficult.

Because after experiencing property from so many different perspectives, Dahlia and Shervin understand that the most valuable thing a property company can offer isn’t simply another service.

It’s someone you know you can rely on.

Our Mission

To use experience, relationships and integrity to connect people, solve property problems and turn challenges into opportunities — creating lasting value for everyone Dashers works with.

Property. People. Solutions. Opportunities.
