Job Description:
Are you a seasoned Bridging Underwriter looking for a more agile, entrepreneurial lender where your decisions matter, and you can shape your own success?
This is your chance to step into a senior role with a high-impact lender that thrives on speed, flexibility, and expert deal structuring. If you’re fed up with red tape and want to work somewhere where deals move fast and underwriting is valued, this could be the role you've been waiting for.
The Company
This specialist property lender has carved out a strong reputation in the UK short-term lending market by doing things differently. They operate in the high-end space—fast-paced, dynamic, and with the capital backing to make swift, high-value lending decisions. Their model is based on human relationships, intelligent structuring, and a no-nonsense approach to underwriting.
The Senior Bridging Underwriter Role
You’ll take ownership of complex bridging finance cases from start to finish. This is a senior underwriting position with real influence—you’ll be working on deals up to (and above) £10m, liaising directly with brokers, solicitors, valuers, and internal teams to ensure deals are assessed thoroughly, quickly, and efficiently.
You’ll be expected to operate under mandate and structure loans across a variety of asset types—prime residential, luxury property, mixed-use, and some light development or refurbishment projects. If you’ve had exposure to development finance underwriting, even better.
* Underwrite bridging finance cases from initial assessment through to completion
* Structure and recommend deals within mandate, balancing risk and commercial return
* Liaise with brokers, solicitors, valuers and internal teams to keep the deal moving
* Assess creditworthiness, carry out due diligence and analyse exit strategies
* Attend credit committee and present cases (where required)
* Maintain excellent working knowledge of property market trends and regulations
* Support junior members of the team and contribute to continuous process improvement
The Senior Bridging Underwriter Package
* Location: Central London office – office-based with occasional flexibility
* Benefits: 25 days holiday + bank holidays, private healthcare, pension scheme, and professional development opportunities
Senior Bridging Underwriter Skills & Experience Required
* Minimum 3 years’ experience in bridging finance underwriting
* Confident operating under a personal mandate and structuring bespoke deals
* Experience with luxury/high-value property deals
* Exposure to development finance underwriting is desirable but not essential
* Excellent communication, analytical, and commercial judgement skills
Why Apply?
Join a fast-moving, entrepreneurial lender that empowers its underwriters and values their expertise. You’ll be part of a senior team in a collaborative, office-first environment, underwriting high-value, bespoke property deals without the burden of corporate red tape.
If you're ready to step into a senior underwriting role with real pace, autonomy, and progression—apply today for a confidential conversation. This is a standout opportunity for a bridging underwriter who’s ready to level up.
