Experienced bridging lender KSEYE has grown its Underwriting team with the appointment of Matthew Rogers.
Matthew joins KSEYE as its newest Underwriter, further strengthening its team and reinforcing its position as a leading provider of specialist property finance solutions. He brings a wealth of experience in underwriting and credit management, particularly in development and heavy refurbishment. With more than seven years in the industry, he has held senior roles at Pivot Finance, PropFin, and Nova Financial, where he managed complex lending cases and supported clients with tailored financial solutions.
As KSEYE continues its growth, Matthew’s expertise will play a key role in enhancing the Underwriting team’s ability to provide swift, reliable, and flexible solutions to brokers and clients. His deep understanding of development finance will ensure that KSEYE continues to meet the increasing demand for financing in this sector.
Since 2012, KSEYE has provided specialist property finance, lending over £800 million to date. The lender is known for offering brokers underwriter-validated decisions within 24 hours on loans up to £2 million and credit-backed terms up to £50m, ensuring speed and certainty for clients. This latest addition to the team underscores KSEYE’s commitment to investing in top talent and sustaining its growth trajectory.
Brooke Barfoot, Underwriting Team Leader at KSEYE, commented:
“We’re excited to have Matthew join the KSEYE team. His expertise in development and heavy refurbishment projects brings invaluable strength to our underwriting division. Matthew’s sharp insights and dedication to delivering fast, precise lending decisions will be key as we continue to elevate our service to brokers and expand our lending portfolio.”
Matthew Rogers commented on his new role:
“I’m energised to be joining a company that’s driving ambitious growth and innovation. KSEYE’s reputation for delivering fast, flexible lending solutions aligns perfectly with my underwriting philosophy. I’m eager to collaborate with the team and provide brokers with forward-thinking finance options, particularly in the development and refurbishment sectors, where I believe my expertise can make a real impact.”
Bridging lender KSEYE successfully facilitated a £3.5 million loan for a semi-commercial property in 4 working days.The loan, for an office with flats above in Soho, London, was offered at 65% LTV at a rate of 1% per month. The speed of the completion was due to the efforts of KSEYE’s experienced underwriters and case managers, and the close relationships that KSEYE have with valuer and solicitor partners, who were both able to go above and beyond to ensure this loan was completed in time.This significant achievement highlights KSEYE’s commitment to delivering truly fast and flexible solutions to its clients, and their ability to go the extra mile where a borrower has a very tight deadline in which to secure funding.Benjamin Margulies, who introduced the loan to KSEYE, expressed his satisfaction, stating: “I appreciate the smooth and efficient process with the loan completing from start to finish within 4 days! The team is there for you, great to work with, and make sure you get the deal done so a company you can rely on. I will definitely be working with KSEYE on future deals.”KSEYE’s acting solicitors, DKLM discussed their involvement: “We received this case from KSEYE and swiftly started to provide our assistance as acting solicitors to complete the deal. We normally request undertaking from the Borrower’s solicitors using credit-backed terms however, due to the urgency of this deal, Charles, Head of the Bridging team and Partner used the indicative terms to request the undertaking. Charles was constantly in contact with the Borrower’s solicitors over email and phone from start to end on this deal. In addition, whilst we were waiting for the valuation report Charles was working on the draft report to prevent any delays and speed up the process, enabling DKLM to meet the lender’s expectations as well as the Borrower’s and successfully completing the deal within 4 working days.”Marcus Dussard, Sales Director at KSEYE, commented: “An important characteristic of bridging loans is that they can be completed quickly, and this deal showcases KSEYE’s ability to do just that. Throughout 2024 we are confident that our relationships with brokers will go from strength to strength, and that more brokers will see us as their go-to lender for their clients’ bridging needs.”
KSEYE celebrated its 10th anniversary last week, inviting funders, brokers, and other guests from across the industry to join them at London’s iconic Somerset House.Founded by brothers Jitendra and Nikes Khagram, KSEYE has grown from a 2-man operation to a team of 40, reaching many milestones along the way, including lending over £500m to property investors throughout England & Wales. A long-standing focus on bridging finance sits alongside a hybrid buy-to-let product launched in 2021, both delivered with the company’s fast and flexible ethos at the core of the offering.Jitendra Khagram, Director and Co-Founder of KSEYE, commented:“We are delighted to reach our 10th anniversary, and we see this as a landmark for our continued success. The incredible growth of KSEYE over the last ten years would not have been possible without the brokers, clients, and professionals we have worked with throughout the industry. From those who have supported us from day one to the partnerships we have formed more recently, they have all enabled us to assist a multitude of borrowers in making astute property investments.”Nikes Khagram, Director and Co-Founder of KSEYE, added:“The other important group to recognise as we reach this milestone are the members of the KSEYE team, past and present. They have all played an important part in helping us to reach this point and grow as we have done. We are especially grateful to the talented employees we have right now, and we are confident we have the right team in place as we look to continue our expansion in the future.”
