Job description

Residential Property Solicitor - 2+ PQE (Basingstoke)
Some firms talk about work-life balance. This one actually built a culture around it.

This high street practice has been part of its community for decades, no clock-watching, no rigid targets breathing down your neck. Just a team of experienced property professionals who trust each other to get on with the job, and who genuinely enjoy working together.

That's the environment you'd be stepping into as this firm's next Residential Property Solicitor. A recent departure has opened up a fantastic opportunity to take ownership of a busy, varied residential caseload, running your own files from first instruction through to completion, with real autonomy over how you work.

You won't be doing it alone either. Dedicated assistant support handles file opening and post-completion admin, freeing you up to focus on what you do best: fee-earning work and looking after your clients.

What's on offer:

• Full ownership of a varied residential property caseload, start to finish


• Assistant support for file opening and post-completion, so your time is spent where it matters


• A genuinely relaxed, trust-based culture, no clock-watching, no arbitrary targets


• Hybrid working, up to 2 days from home


• A bonus scheme rewarding billing above 3x salary at 10-15%


• A close-knit, sociable team within a well-established practice

If you're a Residential Property Solicitor with around 2+ years' PQE who wants genuine autonomy, a supportive team, and a firm that actually means it when it says it values balance, this could be exactly what you've been looking for.
