The underwriting team process each enquiry as it arrives, to provide a solution for the client or broker. As specialists in the complex, our underwriters are highly skilled. Therefore, they judge each deal on its individual merits – MFS does not use automated tick boxes to make decisions. This enables them to tailor and create solutions for a range of bridging scenarios. They also ensure that all enquiries receive initial terms within just four hours, establishing our commitment to them and their plans.
