Job description

Residential Property Solicitor - 2+ Years PQE
Petersfield, Hampshire

This is a standout opportunity for a Residential Property Solicitor to join a highly respected and genuinely supportive regional firm with an outstanding reputation in the real estate space. With a strong pipeline of high-quality, often HNW work already in place and a team so busy they're turning instructions away, you'll step straight into a ready-made caseload, backed by excellent admin support and a collaborative culture that promotes long-term career growth. If you're looking for quality work, real flexibility, and a team where people genuinely enjoy what they do, this role ticks every box.

The Firm

This highly regarded regional firm consistently punches above its weight in the real estate space, attracting lawyers from Top?200 and Legal?500 practices. Known for its genuinely friendly, collaborative culture, the firm has exceptional staff retention, with many Partners having started as trainees and the majority of staff staying for over a decade.

Practice areas include Commercial, Residential and Agricultural Property, Employment, Family, Financial Services, Private Client, Corporate, and Dispute Resolution, as well as several niche specialisms. The environment is stable, supportive, and ambitious.

The Role

Due to a sustained increase in high-quality instructions, the Residential Property team is extremely busy and now at the point of turning work away, creating a rare and exciting opportunity for a Solicitor to step into a fully developed, high-value caseload from day one.

You will be handling a broad range of residential property matters, including:

• Prime and high-net-worth (HNW) sales and purchases
• Transfers of equity
• New-build acquisitions
• Re-mortgages and refinancing matters

The work is varied, often complex, and comes largely through long-standing client relationships and referrals. You'll be given the autonomy to run your own caseload, with dedicated admin support and a collegiate, expert team around you.
Flexible working is well established here, with several days a week from home and genuine trust in how you manage your time.

Requirements

• Residential Property Solicitor with 2+ years' PQE
• Solid experience in managing your own conveyancing caseload
• Experience with HNW or complex transactions preferred
• Personable, proactive, and confident delivering a high standard of client care

What's on Offer

• Salary above regional market rate, depending on experience
• Excellent benefits and progression prospects
• Full administrative support
• Hybrid/flexible working structure
• Immediate pipeline of quality work

This is a standout opportunity for a Residential Property Solicitor to join a busy, well-run team where you'll hit the ground running with high-quality work and real long-term prospects.
