Are you an experienced Conveyancer looking to use your expertise in a different way?

This is an excellent opportunity to step away from fee earning while continuing to play a vital role in delivering high-quality conveyancing services. Working from our superb office in central Stockport, on a hybrid basis, you’ll use your technical knowledge and practical experience to support our Property Lawyers, provide expert legal input, and help ensure cases progress smoothly and compliantly.

Who We Are

ONP Solicitors is a leading and modern conveyancing firm, part of Movera, a group of home-moving brands, including Cavendish Legal Group and Conveyancing Alliance. We’re on a mission to transform the moving market, for our people, partners and clients. Enabled by technology but with people at the heart of everything we do.

The Role

This is a non–case-carrying role focused on providing high-level legal and technical support to the conveyancing department. You will work alongside Property Lawyers to progress matters, undertake complex legal and procedural approvals, and ensure compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements across a range of freehold, leasehold, unregistered, new build, and shared ownership transactions.

During peak holiday periods, your role will be to ensure files continue to progress smoothly by managing legal approvals, coordinating handovers, and maintaining momentum on key tasks. You will be involved in drafting documents, handling complex approvals, liaising with third parties where required, and supporting the wider operational objectives of the department.

• Assist with complex approval processes, including transactions such as:
• • Leasehold flats
  • Building Safety Act matters
  • Shared ownership schemes
  • New build properties
• Assist with the handling and progression of property completions.
• Assist with the handling of complex post-completion requirements and ensuring all post completion matters are resolved promptly and accurately.
• Support regular pipeline reviews to help drive performance and improve departmental KPIs.
• Facilitate a seamless transfer of files between the Property Lawyer and yourself to maintain continuity in file progress and ensure smooth internal operations.
• Ensure that all files are maintained in good order in compliance with Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and following regulatory and statutory requirements.
• Proactively deal with the other side solicitors, mortgage lenders, brokers and local authorities.
• Recognise potential risks and resolve issues without putting the department or business at risk.
• Comply at all times with the SRA Standards and Regulations and Law Society CQS standards.
• Optimise departmental efficiency through the use of our conveyancing systems and technology.
• Develop a culture of teamwork and high performance with a strong focus on quality and compliance.

What you’ll need

• Proven experience handling leasehold, shared ownership, and new build property transactions.
• Strong and working understanding of the Building Safety Act.
• Excellent organisational and communication skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Commercial awareness, keeping up to date with business and industry news.
• Resilience with the ability to work effectively under pressure and to strict deadlines.
• Strong problem-solving skills, and an analytical approach to come to the best legal solutions.
• Attention to detail, extremely accurate in research and the drafting of documents.
• Enthusiastic team player and natural self-starter able to work independently.
• Ability to be flexible and adaptable to support departmental needs.
