Job description

Overview

Our Head Office is in GU1 but the job is remote and you can be anywhere in England.

Are you fed up with the constraints of working in a high street firm? Have to be at your desk for 9am. Only an hour for lunch. Do you want to choose your own hours to work to suit you and/or your family life? Freedom to attend school events / medical appointments whenever? Get paid fairly for the work you do?

I'm looking for an experienced paralegal to help with my busy residential property caseload. Must have at least two years experience in all aspects of residential but particularly those listed below. This is a self employed role within Setfords where my consultancy is based.

Hourly rate according to expertise. You should be fully conversant in the following:

• opening files and sending initial letters
• drafting a standard contract
• liaising with estate agents and mortgage lenders as well as clients
• initial drafting of title reports
• using Land Registry
• drafting transfers and sdlt returns
• setting up completions
• submitting registrations

There will be opportunity to work for more than one consultant if required.

Please apply with your CV and a covering letter ensuring your experience is clear along with your expected hourly rate.
