Hamlyn Williams is supporting a leading financial institution in sourcing three Senior CRE Risk Consultants for a review project of their Commercial Real Estate (CRE) portfolio, with a particular focus on collateral valuation and internal credit risk processes.

This is an exciting opportunity for experienced professionals with a background in European and US CRE valuation, who are ready to work with senior stakeholders on a time-sensitive regulatory engagement.

The Role

You will be responsible for conducting a full review of the institution’s credit risk management framework for its CRE portfolio. This will involve:

• Performing desktop re-evaluations of sampled CRE collateral valuations, either provided by the bank or external sources.

• Assessing the soundness and credibility of valuation methodologies and assumptions.

• Providing indicative market values where significant revaluation is required.

• Leveraging external CRE databases to validate market comparables and challenge internal reports.

Your Profile

To be considered, you will need to demonstrate:

• RICS certification or an equivalent recognised real estate valuation qualification.

• A minimum of 3 years direct experience in individual CRE asset valuation, preferably with a respected European valuation firm.

• Strong familiarity with major CRE asset classes, including Offices, Retail, Tourism/Hotels, Mixed Use, and Residential developments.

• Hands-on knowledge of German CRE valuation methodologies, such as Beleihungswertkonzept, alongside wider market value concepts used in France, UK, Spain, and US CRE markets.

• Proven ability to source and interpret relevant market transaction data to challenge and verify bank-provided valuations.

Consulting Terms

The initial duration of the engagement is 3 months, with a hybrid delivery model. You should be comfortable working onsite in Germany as required.
