Finance Consultant Commercial Mortgages OR Property Finance Bridging & Development - London & SE
City & Capital are currently representing a fast growing & highly respected commercial property finance advisory & loan brokerage who are achieving outstanding growth. This growth is being driven by market reputation & the increased borrowing requirements of property professionals & businesses in the sector.
Due to this our client is embarking on a large recruitment drive across their key UK regions to appoint confident & ambitious property professionals who can join their broker arm as a Commercial Property Finance Broker at a genuinely exciting time.
Our client is renowned for supporting commercial borrowers with access to a broad range of commercial/specialist property loans. These loans may be commercial mortgages (own/occupy) or a broad range of BTL/portfolio landlord loans for property investors. In addition, our client also supports property development & refurb projects too, via development finance & bridging loans.
The broker in question has been operating in this space for nearly a century. Due to this, two things are key:
1. Lots of warm leads!
Due to reputation & expertise, our client generates a lot of warm leads for their brokers to handle! These will complement leads that you may choose to originate yourself, be this from your own market connections or business development activity.
2. 'Whole of Market’ access to Lenders & Banks
Due to the high levels of serious borrowers that our client generates, it may not surprise you to know that the very best lenders & banks are happy to be aligned to them. This means our client can cover any loan size of purpose, be that a £100k or £100m commercial property loan. As a result, conversion of application to funded loan is one of the highest in the UK and more so, drives a lot of repeat business which is a key part of their growth model (and will be a key part of yours too!).
Naturally, this blend of warm leads & repeat borrowers married to whole of market access across prime and specialist, means you have the highest chance of achieving significant loan conversions, which is how your bonus is earned!
The perfect setup for a commercial property broker. More on that later.
The Role - Commercial Property Finance Broker
Within the role, you will manage new applications from 'cradle to grave’ as follows:
- Initial assessment of enquiries & their viability for funding
- Where the loan is deemed as applicable, you will then engage directly with the client to host a more detailed 'fact find’ session meeting, face to face
- From this session, you will create an initial 'credit paper’ that can be shared with lenders and banks in the market
- Once the borrowers position & requirement have been confirmed, you will then research the lender/banking market for suitable loan products/institutions that can fund your clients requirement
- Once identified, you will engage with those lenders/banks and will work with them to ensure they have the documents & information they need to underwrite and sanction the loan
- You will liaise with borrower & lender/bank throughout this journey & until conclusion - a funded loan!
The ideal individual for this role must demonstrate current of previous experience working with commercial property loans, bridging or development finance. This may be for a lender, broker or bank. This is to ensure you are comfortable in reviewing applications & are able to undertake detailed fact finds with clients, to drive their applications forward.
You will be a confident relationship manager & someone who is naturally inclined to lead & drive forward cases in a proactive manner. Borrowers often require loans at short notice, so individuals that are strong process leaders will be highly sought after to ensure key SLAs are met.

This bonus structure is entirely UNCAPPED and you will earn for every loan you are able to fund. Will discuss with you should we speak.
Most notably as an established and highly respected firm that continues to grow, opportunities to propel your own career earnings and standing forward quickly within may be prevalent, once excellent performance is delivered. This is in line with their strong & proven promote from within policy, which has been integral in their successful growth to date.
Travel to our clients local offices will be expected to undertake face to face client meetings.
There is a reasonable amount of urgency to fill this position due to our clients exciting growth & the progression potential available with this opportunity. Therefore, I do not expect these roles to be available in the market for long!
