Job description

Sheffield | £45,000 – £55,000 + Company Car or Car Allowance

Permanent | Full-time | In-house legal team

Elevation Recruitment Group is delighted to be working with a well-established and rapidly expanding residential developer to appoint an experienced Plot Conveyancer into their in-house legal team in Sheffield.

Why This Role, Why Now

This is a genuinely exciting time to join a business with real momentum. Our client has ambitious, funded growth plans and is targeting a doubling of plot completions by 2028 - creating a rare opportunity for a Plot Conveyancer to build a long-term career inside a legal team that is growing right alongside the business, rather than simply managing an existing pipeline.

You'll join a close-knit, in-house legal function that works hand-in-hand with sales, commercial, land and technical teams, with genuine autonomy over your own caseload and a benefits package that goes well beyond salary and bonus.

What's In It for You (plus much more!)

• Clear, achievable bonus/commission opportunity linked to your role


• 27 days' holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell up to 5 additional days


• An extra day off for your birthday every year, plus 3 additional days for milestone birthdays


• Market-leading healthcare and life assurance cover


• £600 annual wellbeing allowance, plus 24/7 access to a GP, mental health counselling and legal/financial guidance for you and your family


• Genuine flexibility around home/office working and working hours


• Summer Fridays - finish early throughout summer, on top of your holiday allowance


• Clear career progression, on-the-job coaching and skills development support as the business grows
  
• Free on-site parking and all the technology you need to do your job well

The Role

As In-House Plot Conveyancer, you'll manage the day-to-day plot conveyancing on new build developments, coordinating with regional offices and internal teams to keep plot sales and part-exchange transactions moving smoothly, compliantly and to deadline. Responsibilities include:

• Handling plot sales, part-exchanges and resales - investigating title for freehold and leasehold properties, raising preliminary and further enquiries, and preparing reports on title.


• Ensuring all legal documentation - contracts, titles and searches - is accurate and complete.


• Conducting due diligence, including title checks, planning permissions and land covenants or restrictions.


• Making local land charges searches and other appropriate local authority enquiries.


• Carrying out purchaser due diligence, including Anti-Money Laundering checks and source-of-funds considerations.


• Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of conveyancing law and current home ownership schemes (e.g. Help to Buy, First Homes) and sales incentive schemes.


• Managing multiple transactions simultaneously, ensuring efficient, timely completions in line with company policy and compliance requirements.


• Working closely with the wider legal team, solicitors and other stakeholders to keep processes smooth and deadlines on track.

About You

• At least 3 years' relevant experience, either in a plot sales / new build environment or in residential conveyancing practice.


• Comprehensive knowledge of the conveyancing process and a solid understanding of the residential property environment.


• Comfortable handling high volumes of work while staying calm, organised and methodical.


• Sharp attention to detail, able to spot potential issues before they arise.


• A confident communicator, able to liaise clearly with stakeholders at all levels and translate complex legal issues simply.


• A proactive, collaborative team player who can manage competing deadlines with initiative.
