Our CEO

The Face Behind the

Company.

Sadaf Khan Malik is the Founder and CEO of Levana Finance.
A considered beginning

Experience shaped by the people behind every property decision.

The CEO and Sole Director of Levana Finance is Sadaf Khan Malik. Born and bred in Yorkshire, Sadaf graduated from Kingston University, Surrey, with a 2:1 in BA Hons Business Studies. At 19 years old, she joined the financial services industry, building her career across multinational corporate companies.

Of Afghan and Indian Kashmiri origin, Sadaf brings a broad perspective to her work and a deep understanding of the different circumstances that shape a client’s property and finance decisions.

In early 2014, after leaving a role in Bracknell with a lender’s repossessions and litigation team, Sadaf found her passion for becoming a mortgage broker. She began her broking career with Countrywide, the UK’s largest mortgage broker and estate agency.

She was responsible for the Guildford region, including branches in Worplesdon, Merrow, Haslemere and Godalming, before moving on to Knaphill in Woking.

Sadaf then moved to Coreco in the City of London, where she advanced her career by conducting mortgage surgeries for investment bankers at Goldman Sachs, UBS and other investment banks in London.

She also became the backbone of a venture capitalist setting up an online mortgage brokerage, before working between Berkeley Square, Mayfair and Baker Street for another mortgage brokerage in the City.

Levana Finance

Built around experience, clarity and the individual.

In 2018, Sadaf took the plunge to work for herself and started Levana Finance. Her main clientele includes professionals, high net worth clients, investment bankers, developers, GCC international clients, UN diplomats from Afghanistan, and expats living in the UAE and other Middle Eastern countries.

Her approach is rooted in clarity, discretion and a genuine understanding of the decisions behind every property transaction. Levana Finance was built to give clients a more thoughtful way through mortgage and property finance, with advice shaped around the individual rather than a standard answer.

Beyond the business

A commitment to people, both professionally and personally.

Sadaf was awarded Leading Mortgage Protection & Financial Adviser 2023 at SME News’s seventh annual Greater London Enterprise Awards.

In her personal life, Sadaf keeps busy with charity work involving her home country, Afghanistan. She won Social Worker and Volunteer of the Year 2022 for her involvement supporting Afghan refugees in the UK, awarded by the MRFA Foundation.

In her spare time, she enjoys visiting London’s newest restaurants and going to the theatre in the West End. She also has a wanderlust soul and enjoys travelling, with favourite destinations including New York, Paris, Monaco, Dubai and Santorini.
