Job description

Job Description

A long-established, respected law firm in Hungerford is seeking a Conveyancing Paralegal to join its thriving Residential Property team. This is an excellent opportunity to build your conveyancing career within a warm, collaborative environment where staff are valued, progression is encouraged, and client experience is at the heart of everything they do.

Why This Firm Stands Out

• Strong local reputation: Known across Berkshire and Wiltshire for a personable, detail-driven service that keeps clients returning generation after generation.


• Genuine development: You’ll work closely with experienced conveyancers, gaining real hands‑on exposure to the full transaction lifecycle — with opportunities for internal progression and potential training routes depending on performance.


• Modern working culture: A friendly team, efficient systems, and supportive managers create a workplace people stay in, not pass through.


• Fantastic work-life balance: Hungerford offers an accessible, commutable location with the charm of a prosperous market town and none of the big‑city stress.

You will support fee-earners on a busy and varied caseload including:

• Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases


• Remortgages and transfers of equity


• Drafting contract packs and requesting searches


• Preparing completion statements and assisting with SDLT/HMLR applications

• Ensuring administrative tasks are completed accurately and on time

You will become a key part of the department, supporting smooth transactions from instruction to completion.

About You

• Experience within a Residential Conveyancing team (6 months+ ideal)


• Strong organisational and communication skills


• Confidence liaising with clients, agents, lenders and solicitors


• A proactive, eager-to-learn approach


• Excellent attention to detail and a calm, solutions-focused mindset

This is an ideal role for someone looking to grow their conveyancing skillset, whether progressing toward a fee-earning role, CILEx, or simply building strong long-term expertise.

Benefits

• £25,000–£30,000 salary (reflecting experience and local market)


• Supportive team and accessible senior staff


• Training and mentorship opportunities
