This is an excellent opportunity for a Conveyancer, Licensed Conveyancer, Conveyancing Fee Earner or experienced Conveyancing Assistant seeking a manageable caseload, genuine work-life balance and the flexibility of mostly remote working, while still having the opportunity to work from the firm's Manchester office when required.

The role is being recruited as a replacement and offers a particularly manageable and structured caseload. With no billing targets and no unnecessary pressure, this is an ideal position for someone looking for a more sustainable approach to residential conveyancing.

The Role - Conveyancing Fee Earner

• Handling residential property transactions involving repossessed properties.
• Dealing with freehold, leasehold and shared ownership transactions.
• Managing an effective caseload equivalent to approximately 40-50 files.

• Working collaboratively with colleagues to ensure transactions progress efficiently.
• Providing a high standard of client care and conveyancing support.
• Maintaining accurate records and ensuring matters progress in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.

Mostly Remote Working - Manchester Office

• Conveyancing Paralegal

You should have a good understanding of residential property transactions and be comfortable dealing with freehold, leasehold and/or shared ownership matters.

Experience of repossession or post-repossession property sales would be advantageous, although relevant residential conveyancing experience will be considered.

Most importantly, the firm is looking for someone who is organised, reliable and committed to delivering high-quality legal work and client service.

Benefits:

• 6-month fixed-term contract
