The Opportunity

A top-tier, highly respected law firm based in central Manchester is looking to recruit a junior but high‑calibre Residential Conveyancer or Property Solicitor to join its specialist property team.

This role offers something genuinely different from a traditional residential conveyancing position.

• Residential and commercial plot sales
• Residential investment work
• Residential and commercial property auctions
• Conveyancing for high-net-worth individuals
• A mix of residential and commercial property transactions
• The role offers real variety and responsibility, with the opportunity to develop technically while working directly with clients and other professionals.

About You

• The firm is keen to speak with candidates who can demonstrate:
• Qualification as a Solicitor in England & Wales, or Legal Executive (CILEx)
• Experience in residential conveyancing, or a background in commercial property with an interest in residential work
• Strong attention to detail and a commitment to delivering high-quality work
• A commercial mindset and professional approach to client care
• Ambition to build a long-term career within a leading property practice

Why Apply?

• A non-volume, high-quality property role
• Exposure to complex and interesting property work
• Clear and structured long-term career progression
• Genuine partnership prospects for the right candidate
• Supportive, collaborative team within a top-tier firm
• Central Manchester location with an excellent reputation
