Residential Property Lawyer

A opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Legal Executive, Licensed Conveyancer, Solicitor, or Conveyancing Executive.

This role offers the chance to join a highly reputable and experienced conveyancing team.

The ideal candidate will have a solid background in residential property transactions and the confidence to manage a full caseload independently from the outset. Working as part of a close-knit team passionate about collaboration and professional growth, you will provide expert, commercially focused legal advice while ensuring an outstanding client experience.

About the Role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Building relationships: Developing rapport with clients and referrers to maintain and grow the practice's reputation.

• Casework: Reviewing contracts, preparing mortgage reports, checking search results, and responding to freehold and leasehold enquiries.
• Specialist work: Managing residential property titles and handling tasks like exchange of contracts and completion of purchases. New-build experience would be beneficial but is not essential.
• Team goals: Working collaboratively to achieve monthly targets and KPIs.
• Business development: Supporting the team in identifying opportunities to grow the practice and communicating the firm's value to attract new clients.

• Possesses a thorough understanding of conveyancing, with experience managing a caseload from start to finish with minimal supervision.
