Job description

Overview

Residential Property Solicitor or Legal Executive – Rural & Agricultural Property
Location: Exeter or Plymouth, Devon
Salary: From £65,000 + excellent benefits
Are you an experienced Residential Property Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with expertise in rural, landed estates, or high-value property transactions? A top-ranked law firm with a national reputation is looking to expand its Rural & Agricultural Property team. 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 £65,000, dependent on experience
• Career Track – opportunities at Associate, Senior Associate, or even Partner level
• Outstanding Perks – 25 days holiday (with buy/sell options), birthday leave, free parking, private healthcare, life cover and more
• Supportive Culture – mentoring directly from senior partners, plus a genuine focus on work/life balance

The Firm

• 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 / rural & agricultural property
• Solid track record handling high-value, complex conveyancing of rural estates, agricultural land, or prime London property experience preferred
• Solicitors and legal executives with commercial property experience looking to pivot into a rural property role preferred
• Excellent client-facing skills, able to work with wealthy individuals and institutional clients
• Commercially astute with a proactive approach to business development and client relationship management

This position is not suitable for those with purely high street conveyancing experience – you’ll need the ability to demonstrate experience at the top end of the market.
