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.

- 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.
