Underwriter - Bridging Loans

The best bridging deals need more than someone to work through a checklist. They need an underwriter who can understand the story behind the application, assess the risk and help find a sensible route to completion. DEFC Group is recruiting for a specialist property lender in Milton Keynes with ambitions to grow. As the business moves forward, it's looking for an underwriter who wants to grow with it: someone who takes pride in making good decisions, building strong broker relationships and contributing to a supportive team. You'll have the backing to develop your judgement and the opportunity to make a real contribution as the business grows. What you'll be doing

• Assess bridging applications, property security, borrower circumstances and exit strategies.
• Review valuations, legal reports and supporting documents to identify and manage risk.
• Structure cases and prepare clear credit recommendations.
• Work with brokers, solicitors, valuers and colleagues to keep deals moving towards completion.
• Communicate clearly throughout the process, especially when a case needs a practical solution. What we're looking for
• Experience underwriting bridging loans or other short-term property finance.
• Sound credit judgement and a commercial approach to assessing individual cases.
• A strong understanding of property security and exit strategies.
• The ability to manage multiple cases without losing attention to detail.
• Someone who wants to keep learning, support their colleagues and play a part in a growing business. If you're a Bridging Underwriter ready for a role where your judgement is valued and your ambition is supported, apply through LinkedIn or contact Adam at DEFC Group for a confidential conversation.
