Job description

Residential Property Solicitor | 2+ PQE | Bexhill, East Sussex

Bexhill is booming. And one of the area's most established practices is expanding to meet demand.

A highly regarded East Sussex firm with deep community roots and genuine market leadership is adding to its residential property team in Bexhill due to increased workload. This isn't backfill. It's strategic growth driven by client demand, strong local referral networks, and the firm's reputation for handling residential conveyancing properly.

If you want residential property work with real variety, genuine client relationships, and a firm that's genuinely on the rise in the area, this is it.

The Firm

One of the leading practices on the South Coast with over 100 people across the firm. Built on trust, relationships, and consistency, not volume processing. Organic, sustainable growth driven by a loyal client base and strong referrer network.

The culture is friendly, supportive, and refreshingly down to earth. People stay because they're trusted, supported, and genuinely given space to do their job well. This isn't corporate speak. It's reflected in retention and reputation.

The Work

You'll join a busy, experienced conveyancing team handling a broad residential caseload:

• Sales and purchases (freehold and leasehold)
• Re-mortgages, transfers of equity, lease extensions
• Work with familiar local agents and long-standing clients
• Build strong, long-term client relationships
• Own your files with proper support around you
• No conveyor belt conveyancing. Just good quality work handled properly.

This is residential property where you're known by clients, trusted by the team, and given autonomy to do the job well.

You

• Residential Property Solicitor, Legal Executive, or Licensed Conveyancer
• 2+ PQE (or equivalent experience)
• Confident running your own conveyancing files independently
• Client-focused, organised, comfortable working as part of a close-knit team
• Looking for sustainable career growth, not just a job

What's On Offer

• Competitive salary and strong benefits
• Join a busy, well-established property team during a growth phase
• Genuine stability backed by consistent, quality workload
• A firm that values quality, balance, and long-term careers
• Role where you're known, trusted, and genuinely supported
• Clear scope to grow your practice and reputation

Why This Works

This firm is market-leading for a reason. They've built something that actually works: good work, good culture, good people. Now they're expanding because demand is there, not because they're chasing volume.

You'll be part of a practice that's thriving but not sacrificing its values. The property team is busy, but busy because of quality reputation, not aggressive marketing. This is sustainable growth.

If you want residential property work with steady flow, genuine client contact, and a career that can actually develop in a firm that values its people, this is it.
