Property Underwriter

Are you an experienced Property Underwriter looking for an opportunity where you can use your technical expertise, build strong broker relationships and develop your career within a specialist underwriting environment?

We are recruiting for an established and highly regarded specialist MGA to join its successful Real Estate team in Croydon.

This is a great opportunity to join an experienced underwriting team handling a varied portfolio of Property Owners business, from individual risks through to larger portfolios across commercial, residential, mixed-use and more complex property risks.

The Role

As a Property Underwriter, you will:

• Underwrite new and existing Property Owners and Real Estate risks within agreed authority.
• Assess commercial, residential, mixed-use and portfolio business.
• Consider more complex and non-standard property risks where appropriate.
• Review presentations, claims information, valuations and risk details to make commercially sound underwriting decisions.
• Negotiate terms, pricing and coverage with brokers.
• Manage renewals and identify opportunities to retain and grow profitable business.
• Build strong relationships with brokers and provide a responsive, knowledgeable underwriting service.
• Work closely with colleagues across underwriting and distribution.

• Previous Property or Property Owners underwriting experience.
• A good understanding of commercial and/or residential property risks.
• Strong technical underwriting and risk assessment skills.
• Experience working with brokers and developing productive relationships.
• The confidence to make commercial underwriting decisions within authority.
• A proactive approach and genuine interest in developing within the Property market.

You may currently be working as a Property Underwriter, Property Owners Underwriter, Real Estate Underwriter, Commercial Underwriter or Development Underwriter.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

You'll be joining a specialist MGA with an established Real Estate proposition, experienced underwriting teams and A-rated delegated capacity.

The business has a broad appetite and is comfortable considering risks outside the straightforward standard market, creating a genuinely interesting underwriting environment for someone who enjoys using their technical knowledge rather than simply following a narrow underwriting model.

You'll receive:

• Salary up to £60,000, dependent on experience
• Excellent company benefits
• Hybrid working
• Support towards continued professional development
• Genuine opportunities to progress your underwriting career
• The opportunity to work within an established specialist Property/Real Estate team
