With a strong reputation for client care, compliance, and a relaxed, supportive working culture, this is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced conveyancer to join a firm where people genuinely enjoy coming to work.

About the Role:

You'll be joining a busy and well-established conveyancing department, managing a full caseload of residential property matters from instruction to post-completion. The team is particularly active in auction work, so the ability to work efficiently and meet tight deadlines is key.

Key Responsibilities:

Manage a varied caseload including sales, purchases, remortgages, shared ownership, lease variations, new builds, Help to Buy, and transfers of equity

Handle both freehold and leasehold transactions

Review titles, draft contracts, raise/respond to enquiries, and manage completions

Liaise with clients, estate agents, lenders, and third parties

Supervise and support junior team members

Ensure compliance with legal and regulatory standards

Contribute to a positive team culture and support business development where appropriate

What We're Looking For:

5+ years PQE as a Solicitor, Licensed Conveyancer (CLC), or Legal Executive (ILEX)

OR 10+ years' experience handling your own conveyancing caseload

Strong technical knowledge across all aspects of residential conveyancing

Ability to work independently and hit the ground running

Comfortable supporting junior colleagues and sharing knowledge

Experience with auction transactions is a bonus, but not essential

No need to bring a following - there's plenty of work available

Why Join This Firm?

Performance-based bonus paid quarterly (after probation) - realistic and achievable

Supportive team culture - relaxed, friendly, and flexible

Excellent staff retention - many team members have been with the firm for over 10 years

Free parking on-site (limited) and free street parking nearby

Flexible working hours can be discussed from the outset to accommodate family commitments

28 days' holiday including bank holidays - no need to save days for Christmas closure
