Job Description:

A commercial, forward-thinking law firm is looking for a residential property paralegal (with fee earning experience) to join their team and deliver high-quality service to their established client base.

You will manage your own caseload from instruction to post-completion, handling both sales and purchases of properties. You must be able to start immediately and handle full residential transactions with minimal supervision.

Key duties include:

• Submitting AP1 and SDLT forms
• Drafting reports on titles
• Liaising with clients and third parties (e.g., mortgage lenders)
• Dealing with inquiries
• File opening and closing, including matter balances
• Scheduling deeds to mortgage lenders
• Drafting agreements, deeds, and contracts
• Reviewing and reporting on titles

Candidates must have at least 12 months’ experience as a residential property paralegal, with excellent drafting skills, attention to detail, and strong communication abilities. You should be proactive, capable of building rapport with clients, and able to conduct searches independently.

This is an excellent opportunity for a residential property paralegal to gain more experience and work with greater autonomy in an established London law firm.
