LendInvest is the UK’s leading FinTech platform for property finance. Over the past 17 years, we have grown from just our two founders to a team of over 200 working to make property finance simple for everyone.

A workplace culture built around trying new things, getting things done, and having fun while we do it has helped us lend more than £7.5 billion of mortgages, put thousands of new or improved homes into the UK housing market, and successfully launch on the London Stock Exchange.

As a Residential Underwriter at LendInvest, you'll play a key role in assessing and approving mortgage loan applications from enquiry to completion.

You’ll be a critical part of a collaborative, fast-paced team, working with brokers, solicitors, valuers, and case managers to deliver exceptional service.

• Work closely with solicitors, valuers, and case managers to ensure smooth transactions.
• Make confident lending decisions, backed by clear rationale and aligned with our policies.
• Support and mentor case managers, helping develop their skills and knowledge.
• Contribute to efficiency improvements that maintain strong risk management while streamlining processes.

What We’re Looking For

• A confident and resilient underwriter who can build strong relationships with stakeholders.
• Sound judgement and attention to detail, with the ability to spot risks early.
• Experience handling high-volume workflows, with strong prioritisation skills.
• A deep understanding of Treating Customers Fairly (TCF), Conduct Risk, and Consumer Duty.
• Strong technical knowledge of credit referencing, anti-fraud systems, and land registry documents.
• Substantial residential underwriting experience, ideally within specialist lending.
• CeMAP qualification (preferred but not essential).
