Job description

Residential Conveyancing Solicitor / Licensed Conveyancer / Chartered Legal Executive - Regional Law Firm | Hybrid Working

I'm working with a well-established regional law firm that is looking to grow its Residential Property team by bringing on an experienced Residential Conveyancing Solicitor.

It's a great opportunity for someone who's confident managing their own files and wants to join a genuinely supportive and friendly team. You'll find flexibility, progression, and a steady, manageable caseload.

What you'll be doing:

You'll manage your own end-to-end caseload of residential property work, including:

• Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
• Remortgages and transfers of equity
• Shared ownership, lease extensions, and new builds
• More complex matters like trust, probate, matrimonial, and attorney-related cases

You'll also take care of post-completion work (Land Registry applications, MR01 submissions, title registration, etc.). You'll have the freedom to get on with your work independently, but there's always support from the team when you need it.

This is a client-facing role, so clear communication and attention to detail are key. Depending on your experience, you may also get involved in supporting or mentoring junior team members.

What they're looking for:

• Qualified Solicitor, Licensed Conveyancer, or CILEX with solid residential conveyancing experience
• Comfortable managing your own caseload from start to finish
• Confident handling more complex matters (or happy to learn)
• Organised, accurate, and proactive in keeping matters moving
• Good working knowledge of case management systems and Microsoft Office

What's on offer:

• Competitive salary (based on experience)
• Hybrid and flexible working options
• Enhanced holiday allowance and family-friendly benefits
• Private healthcare or cashback scheme
• Personal pension contribution
• Regular training, mentoring, and genuine progression opportunities
• A positive, supportive culture that values quality work and a healthy work-life balance

This role would suit someone who enjoys residential conveyancing and wants to be part of a team where they'll be trusted to do good work, encouraged to develop, and supported to balance life and career.
