Residential Conveyancing Solicitor

Location: Merthyr Tydfil

Salary: Competitive + Bonus + Benefits

Working Pattern: Full-time, Office Based

An established and highly regarded South Wales law firm is looking to recruit an experienced Residential Conveyancing Solicitor to join its busy property team.

With a strong reputation built over many years, the firm has developed a loyal client base and continues to benefit from a significant volume of repeat business and recommendations. The practice combines traditional client service values with modern systems and processes, offering an excellent opportunity for an individual who enjoys working closely with clients and colleagues in a collaborative office environment.

This appointment forms part of the firm's long-term growth and succession plans, creating genuine opportunities for progression for the right individual.

The firm places a genuine emphasis on work‑life balance, operating a 9am‑5pm working day and encouraging employees to switch off outside of working hours. Overtime is paid where additional hours are required, and there is no expectation for staff to routinely work beyond their contracted hours. The position also offers a clear long‑term progression pathway, with genuine opportunities to develop into a senior leadership or Director‑level role as part of the firm's future succession plans.

The Role

The successful candidate will manage a varied residential conveyancing caseload from instruction through to completion while delivering a high standard of client service.

• Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
• Remortgages
• Transfers of equity

• Shared ownership matters
• General residential conveyancing matters

The successful candidate will work closely with clients throughout the transaction process, maintaining strong relationships and delivering a personal service.

The Candidate

Applications are welcomed from Solicitors, Licensed Conveyancers or Legal Executives with experience handling their own residential conveyancing caseload.

Candidates should demonstrate:

• Experience managing residential conveyancing matters independently
• Strong client care and communication skills
• Excellent organisational abilities and attention to detail
• A proactive and personable approach
• The ability to work effectively within a collaborative team environment
• A commitment to providing a high level of service to clients

This opportunity would particularly suit an individual who enjoys face‑to‑face client interaction and is looking to establish themselves within a firm for the long term.

The Firm

The firm has built an excellent reputation within the local market and places significant emphasis on client service, accessibility and quality of work. The culture is supportive and collaborative, with fee earners benefiting from dedicated secretarial support and a genuine focus on work‑life balance.

The firm operates an office‑based model, encouraging close team collaboration and maintaining strong relationships with clients through face‑to‑face interaction.
