Residential Property Lawyer

A opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Legal Executive, Licensed Conveyancer, Solicitor, or Conveyancing Executive.

This role offers the chance to join a highly reputable and experienced conveyancing team.

About the Role

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Building relationships: Developing rapport with clients and referrers to maintain and grow the practice's reputation.

  • Casework: Reviewing contracts, preparing mortgage reports, checking search results, and responding to freehold and leasehold enquiries.
  • Specialist work: Managing residential property titles and handling tasks like exchange of contracts and completion of purchases. New-build experience would be beneficial but is not essential.

  • Business development: Supporting the team in identifying opportunities to grow the practice and communicating the firm's value to attract new clients.
