Job description

We have an exciting new role for a Conveyancing Assistant looking to develop their career in a varied and busy Residential Property Department at our Exeter office on a full time and permanent basis.

Joining one of the leading law firms in the South West, you'll be part of a friendly and supportive Residential Property team, providing essential support to our fee earners and dealing with daily administration tasks within the department. You will be managing files in conjunction with our fee earners, including regular contact with Estate Agents, Solicitors, Brokers, and Clients, dealing with correspondence, enquiries, exchanging contracts and completing transactions.

Responsibilities

1. Supporting fee earners within the team.
2. Managing your own files, including dealing with property sales and purchases from start to finish.
3. Carrying out property searches, enquiries, contract packs, completions, and registrations.

Whilst the role will mainly be based at our Exeter office, it will be possible to offer a blend of home and office based working in the future.

Who you are

To succeed in this role you will have great organisation and communication skills, along with a flexible approach in order to balance day to day priorities.

With some prior experience of working in a busy office environment, you will be able to work well under pressure, meeting tight deadlines and maintaining accuracy in your work. With extensive client contact in this role, it's important that you naturally understand and relate to clients' needs whilst delivering an outstanding service.

You might have gained some previous conveyancing experience or perhaps have previously worked in a professional services environment, however the most important thing is that you are keen to learn new skills and develop your technical knowledge.

Ask our people, and they will tell you that they genuinely enjoy coming to work and spending time with their colleagues.

We’re confident that once you discover our open and friendly culture, it won’t take long for you to feel the same.

We have a genuine team approach at Ashfords because we know that when talented people work together, we achieve more for our clients and each other.

We also recognise that each of our career journeys is unique. So, we will be ambitious for you and give you the support you need to develop your career, your way.

Importantly, we will give you the space and flexibility for your life outside work too.

Our goal? To help you realise your full potential as part of a forward-thinking team and business.

That’s what sets us apart.

Our offer

We offer a range of benefits to support you at work and at home.

This includes a flexible working framework, extra annual leave for your birthday and the option to buy more holiday.

We have a comprehensive package to support physical and mental health, healthcare plans, an Employee Assistance programme and free access to the Calm mindfulness app.

You’ll also have the chance to get involved in our responsible business programme, including taking part in fundraising initiatives and bringing your energy to our environment or diversity groups.

For a full list of benefits, please see the attachment below.
