  • Make informed underwriting decisions, including approving, denying, or conditionally approving loan applications, based on our lending standards.
  • Assist in presenting loan recommendation papers to our credit and investment committees.
  • Ensure compliance with internal policies, external regulations, and industry standards throughout the underwriting process.
  • Collaborate with borrowers, our Originations team and other stakeholders to gather necessary information, clarify requirements, and provide updates on the underwriting process.
  • Development and refinement of our Underwriting and due diligence process. Optimising as we grow our loan applications.


What We’re Looking For


  • 2+ years of relevant Real Estate experience is required, ideally within Bridging or Property Finance and a keen interest in Property Development. 
  • Strong attention to detail with excellent numeracy skills and the ability to identify risks at an early stage. 
  • A good understanding of KYC/AML, Credit Referencing reports, Land Registry reports, RICS Valuations, Property and Contract law. 
  • Capable of dealing with a high volume of workflow and prioritising accordingly. 
  • Excellent communication skills. An ability to build and foster relationships with our stakeholders. 
  • A strong project manager with experience driving operational efficiency and keeping initiatives on track with little oversight.
