Job description

Residential Property Solicitor – Reading, Thames Valley
Solicitor / Legal Executive / Licensed Conveyancer

Are you a client-focused residential conveyancer looking to join a progressive, high-performing property team in the Thames Valley region? We are instructed by our well-regarded, full-service law firm client to appoint a Residential Property Solicitor (or CILEX/Licensed Conveyancer) into their collaborative and client-centric residential conveyancing practice based in Reading.

About the Opportunity

This is a key hire for a highly ranked regional firm with a strong foothold in the South East. You’ll be joining a personable and supportive team that punches above its weight, with an excellent reputation for service and speed of delivery. Their Residential Property group handles a full mix of quality conveyancing work, including:

• Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
• Re-mortgages and transfers of equity
• Voluntary first registrations
• Lease extensions and residential title matters

Each transaction is supported by both a dedicated lawyer and assistant—allowing for a highly personalised and efficient client service, and enabling you to focus on quality, not volume.

The firm invests heavily in technology with a fully electronic case management system. Flexibility is embraced, though the expectation is a hybrid model with 4 days per week in the Reading office.

Candidate Profile

We’d love to speak with residential property lawyers who:

• Are qualified as a Solicitor, Legal Executive (CILEX) or Licensed Conveyancer
• Have solid transactional experience across the conveyancing lifecycle
• Deliver outstanding client care with a personable and professional approach
• Enjoy working collaboratively within a team and supporting junior colleagues
• Are commercially minded and keen to contribute to business development

Whether you’re looking to step up into a more autonomous role or want to move away from volume-driven conveyancing, this role offers a refreshing alternative in a friendly, stable and client-led environment.
