What you will be doing?

As the Senior Mortgage Credit Analyst, you will be the subject matter expert (SME) for the bank’s residential mortgage portfolio. You will ensure that every mortgage granted not only meets our risk appetite but also strictly complies with the Spanish Mortgage Law (LCCI). You will be responsible for the quality of the collateral (real estate) and the long-term sustainability of the retail mortgage book.

1. Credit Underwriting & Solvency Analysis

  • In-depth Analysis: Evaluate mortgage applications focusing on DSTI (Debt Service to Income), residual income, and employment stability.

  • Complex Profiles: Handle high-net-worth (HNW) or multi-source income applicants that automated scoring systems cannot fully process.

  • LCCI Compliance: Ensure the "Assessment of Creditworthiness" is documented according to Bank of Spain standards to avoid future legal claims.

2. Collateral & Valuation Management

  • Appraisal Oversight: Review and validate appraisal reports from Sociedades de Tasación (ECO circular). Ensure the LTV (Loan to Value) is calculated on the lower of the purchase price or appraisal value.

  • Property Risk: Identify "red flags" in property types (e.g., Viviendas de Protección Oficial - VPO, rustic lands, or properties with legal encumbrances).

3. Regulatory & Legal Execution

  • Pre-contractual Documentation: Oversee the correct issuance of FEIN (European Standardised Information Sheet) and FiAE (Standardised Warning Sheet).

  • Notary Coordination: Ensure the 10-day cooling-off period is respected and that the "Acta Notarial" is correctly processed before signing the mortgage.

  • Subrogations & Novations: Define the risk criteria for incoming mortgage transfers from other banks.

4. Risk Monitoring & Strategy

  • Provisioning: Assist in the definition of mortgage-specific LGD (Loss Given Default) parameters based on the Spanish foreclosure timeline.

  • Early Warning: Monitor the mortgage portfolio for signs of distress (e.g., first-payment defaults or recurring late payments).


Skills you should have
  • Experience: 5+ years in mortgage underwriting within a Spanish financial institution.

  • Certification: Mandatory LCCI Certification (Ley de Contratos de Crédito Inmobiliario) for credit assessment.

  • Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of the Spanish Land Registry (Registro de la Propiedad), tax implications (AJD, ITP), and valuation standards.

  • Tools: Familiarity with valuation platforms (Tinsa, Sociedad de Tasación, etc.) and credit bureaus.

  • Languages: Professional working proficiency in English (to explain portfolio performance and local regulations to Group Risk).
