Residential Property Solicitor or Legal Executive

Rural & Agricultural Property Team

Location: Exeter or Plymouth, Devon

Salary: From £67,000 + excellent benefits

Are you an experienced Residential Property Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive looking for a new role with a new slant on it?

Our top-ranked law firm client with a national reputation is looking to expand its Rural & Agricultural Property team in Exeter.

This is a unique chance to join one of the South West's leading practices, handling premium, complex property work for high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Market-Leading Salary – packages starting from £67,000, dependent on experience
• Career Track – opportunities at Associate, Senior Associate & Partner level
• Outstanding Perks – 25 days holiday (with buy/sell options), birthday leave, parking space, private healthcare, life cover and more
• Supportive Culture – mentoring directly from senior partners, plus a genuine focus on work/life balance

The Firm

• A highly regarded brand – recognised nationally for excellence in residential, rural and agricultural property law
• Prestigious Client Base – regularly instructed by HNW and UHNW clients, family offices, trustees and financial institutions
• Professional Growth – structured progression, ongoing training and visibility at high-profile networking events

The Role

• Run a caseload of complex and high-value residential property matters across the South West, London and other prime markets
• Act for clients with rural landed estates, country homes and significant property portfolios
• Advise on sales, purchases, financing and transfers of high-value rural and agricultural property
• Contribute to networking and business development to further enhance your profile and the firm's reputation

About You

Qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive with 4+ years' PQE in residential property. Those with rural & agricultural property experience are encouraged to apply, as are commercial property lawyers looking to pivot and advise on complex agricultural and rural matters.

Ideally, you'll have a solid track record & technical ability (rather than volume experience).

You will draft transfers, leaseholds, create leases, advise on TP1s and ideally have knowledge of the Building Safety Act.

Excellent client-facing skills, able to work with wealthy individuals and institutional clients.
