Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Our Residential Housebuilding team is one of the largest of its kind. Working with many major housebuilders, residential developers, and housing clients, our work is diverse and of the highest quality. We support our clients in a range of projects from major urban mixed-use developments to greenfield new settlements. Our sector expertise and client service approach make us the premier team in Newcastle, rated highly by both clients and legal directories.

This role involves working with our national housebuilder clients.

What will you be doing?

This varied role offers the opportunity to work on a broad range of client matters related to the sale and acquisition of residential property across England and Wales. You will manage your own caseload, handling complex files primarily for part exchange sales and purchases, and secondarily for plot sales.

Your responsibilities include managing all aspects of the part exchange purchase process, such as title and lease reviews, reporting on title and pre-contract searches, drafting deeds of covenants, notices of transfer, and more. You will also handle all documentation required for transactions, including managing the sale of part exchange properties, and oversee all aspects of plot sales, including responding to inquiries, exchanges, completions, and post-completion formalities.

What are we looking for?

Whether you are a Legal Executive, Licensed Conveyancer, or have extensive conveyancing experience, some knowledge of the new build sector is desirable.

You should possess excellent communication skills, the ability to work under tight deadlines and pressure, a positive outlook, and a commitment to outstanding client service. Part exchange experience is a plus, but strong conveyancing experience is sufficient as we provide support and training.

Minimum requirements for success in this role include:

• At least 5 years' experience in residential conveyancing.
• Experience handling complex conveyancing issues.
• Proven ability to meet tight deadlines.
• Strong IT skills and experience with case management systems.
