What we're looking for
As a Property Underwriter, you'll need to be organised, methodical and able to make decisions and look at the bigger picture as you review all aspects of a case. Your day will involve assessing properties against a variety of criteria to make sure they are appropriate for an Equity Release lifetime mortgage to our customers. You will also be dealing with specialist financial advisers from across the country by telephone and email, looking at whether properties are suitable and appropriate. You will need strong communication skills as an Underwriter as you work closely with other teams in the business and our customers who are primarily financial advisers.
Whilst we don't need you to have a financial background (as full training will be provided), this would be advantageous as would once and telephone experience. At the start it will involve you learning; each one of the processes, the products and the criteria for each funder, and how a property will meet those criteria as well as taking calls in line with the company guidance and being able to navigate the different systems that we use.
The Interview Process
There are 3 stages to the interview:
A telephone interview where you get to share your work experiences which are relevant to the role.
The second part is completing short tests for data inputting, accuracy and numeracy. Once you have passed the tests, we proceed to the last stage.
Face to face interview (video calls in the current climate). The interview is competency based with a set of questions relevant to the role.
