Q&A with Kalpna, Underwriter, Alternative Bridging Corporation

Kalpna Patel, Underwiter, Alternative Bridging Corporation

What motivates you in the morning?

What keeps me going is knowing the fact that my hard work and perseverance will help me attain greater professional achievement. I feel that aligning the company’s vision and values with my own is one way to achieve that.

Can you give an example of a recent challenge you have overcome in your daily role?

We completed a case recently that was challenging as the broker advised at the last minute that the funds released on Day 1 were not sufficient to complete and start the development. I had to liaise with my manager and the BDM to re-issue revised terms. I also had to advise our solicitor that they had to amend the legal documents and complete them within a day.

What’s your top tip for brokers and property investors?

It has to be ‘provide a well-packaged application with relevant documents. It’s fundamental to a case progressing smoothly and in a timely manner.

What’s the best part about your job?

The best part is definitely when the deal completes!

What’s the one thing you would change about your job, and why? 

I have been with Alternative Bridging for six months, so I am very happy with my job at present and there’s nothing I would change.

What do you do to unwind? 

I love doing creative work like flower arrangements, doing yoga, cooking and watching films on Netflix.
