Join a Growing Property Law Team in Coastal Cornwall
A respected and well-established boutique law firm in Newquay is actively hiring a Residential Property Solicitor or Legal Executive to strengthen its busy conveyancing department. Whether you're looking for a full-time position or reduced hours, this is a rare chance to join a close-knit team with a strong local presence and a steady pipeline of high-quality work
Why This Residential Conveyancing Role Stands Out
* Genuine work-life balance – hybrid working available up to 2 days a week
* No business development required – take over a ready-made, established caseload
* A stable and supportive environment where you can thrive professionally
* Long-standing client relationships and a strong reputation in the Cornish legal market
* Excellent base salary plus quarterly performance bonuses
* Work from a modern office in Newquay, just minutes from the Cornish coast
Your Key Responsibilities
You’ll independently manage a broad range of residential conveyancing matters, including:
* Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
* Re-mortgages, transfer of equity, and equity release
* Lease extensions, shared ownership, and tenancy agreements
* Liaising with estate agents, brokers and clients to ensure seamless transactions
* Providing tailored legal advice to a diverse client base, including first-time buyers, families and investors
Who We're Looking For
* A qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive (CILEx)
* Minimum of 6 months’ residential property experience
* Able to run a caseload autonomously with strong attention to detail
* Proactive, approachable, and committed to excellent client service
* Candidates already in Cornwall or considering relocation are welcome
What’s On Offer
* Competitive salary reviewed annually + bespoke bonus structure
* Flexible working patterns – full-time or part-time considered
* Hybrid working – up to 2 days from home per week
* 25+ days holiday plus bank holidays
* Supportive and low-turnover team focused on collaboration, not targets
