This collaborative approach ensures a supportive environment, providing exposure to a wide variety of conveyancing cases, and offering excellent opportunities for both personal and professional development.

• Leasehold and shared ownership: Confidently manage complex transactions such as leasehold and shared ownership, resolving any challenges in a timely manner.
• Transaction coordination: Liaise with clients, lenders, estate agents, and other solicitors to ensure smooth progress of each transaction.
• Completion preparation: Prepare transfer documents, obtain redemption figures, and ready files for completion once contracts are exchanged.
• System and client updates: Keep the company’s case management system and portal updated, ensuring accurate and timely progress reporting.

Person Specification:

We are seeking someone with:

• At least three years of strong conveyancing experience, with a thorough understanding of residential property transactions.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to professionally manage a busy caseload with attention to detail.
• A passion for providing quality client care and successfully delivering results on time.
• A proactive, solution-oriented approach to handling complex transactions independently.

Salary and Benefits:

• £35,000 upwards (commensurate to experience) + generous bonus scheme.
• Hybrid working – 60% office-based, 40% working from home (you are also welcome to work in the office full time if you prefer).
• Work/life balance and supportive, friendly work environment.
• Generous holiday entitlement (including Christmas closure, your birthday off and incremental holiday days).
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
• Casual dress code (business attire only when meeting clients).
• Paid volunteer day off to support a cause of your choice.
• Employee Assistance Programme to support your well-being.
