Job description

Paralegal – Real Estate

Leeds / Hybrid

Competitive salary + excellent training + named client exposure

Haggerty Jaques is instructed by a well-known law firm in Leeds to recruit experienced paralegals into its busy and growing Commercial Property team. These are not entry-level positions - previous experience in real estate or conveyancing is essential.

The roles offer a rare chance to deepen your experience in a supportive, well-resourced team and to work with high-quality clients on meaningful matters.

Two roles available – tailored to your strengths

We are recruiting for two slightly different positions:

1. Landlord & Tenant Management – working on a long-standing client account, handling lease renewals, licences and portfolio management.
2. Post-Completion Support – ideal for those with strong attention to detail, this role focuses on registrations, SDLT, Land Registry work, and completion processes.

Both roles offer client exposure, responsibility, and a clear path for development.

What you’ll be doing:

• Drafting leases, licences, and Land Registry forms
• Liaising with clients and third parties
• Managing completions and post-completion tasks
• Supporting fee earners with a wide range of real estate matters
• Maintaining excellent compliance and client care standards

What we’re looking for:

• At least 12 months’ experience in a real estate or conveyancing team
• Confidence in managing your own workload and deadlines
• A keen interest in commercial property work
• Excellent organisation and communication skills
• A proactive and collaborative attitude

Why apply?

• Work with well-known clients on real estate matters that make a difference
• Join a supportive and friendly team with a strong reputation
• Gain experience in a respected commercial property practice
• Benefit from hybrid working and a competitive salary

Interested in stepping up your real estate career? We’d love to hear from you.
