Were working on an exciting opportunity for an Underwriter to join a growing and collaborative team in Leeds, specialising in title insurance and legal indemnities. This is a unique role offering the chance to underwrite a wide range of residential title risks, with future exposure to commercial deals.
Youll be assessing risks related to property transactions, such as missing planning permissions, restrictive covenants, leasehold issues, and right of way concerns. Youll work closely with solicitors and brokers to provide bespoke insurance solutions that help keep deals on track. This isnt standard e-trade underwriting; youll be involved in technically complex cases that require investigation, judgement, and strong communication.
The role would suit someone from a legal, conveyancing, or underwriting background - for example, solicitors, conveyancers, legal executives or insurance professionals with experience in property or title risks.
