Paralegal | Real Estate & Projects | Leeds
Leeds (minimum 3 days in the office – Thursday is team day)
Salary: £29,000
Interview process: Two stages (at least one in-person)
We’re working with a highly regarded, national law firm to recruit an experienced Paralegal into their Real Estate & Projects team in Leeds.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a well-established property team acting for registered providers, management companies, developers, landowners, investors and charities on a broad range of development and transactional matters.
If you have solid conveyancing experience and want to step into more complex development-led work, this could be the move.
The Role
You’ll support Partners and Solicitors while building your own caseload. The work is varied and development-focused, including:
• Assisting on development transactions and land agreements
• Drafting transaction summaries and reports (including transfers and sectional agreements)
• Reviewing due diligence searches and contributing to reports on title
• Supporting development site acquisitions
• Managing pre and post-completion formalities
• Undertaking Land Registry applications and handling requisitions
• Drafting ancillary documents including Deeds of Covenant and Transfers
• Liaising directly with clients and third parties
The team has a genuinely collaborative structure and encourages involvement in business development and continued professional development.
What We’re Looking For
• 3+ years’ experience dealing with the conveyancing process
• Commercial or residential property background
• Strong drafting and reporting skills
• Confident with Land Registry applications and post-completion matters
• Able to manage workload with limited supervision
• Organised, methodical and detail-focused
• Comfortable working to deadlines
A law degree (minimum 2:2 or equivalent conversion) is expected.
This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond high-volume transactional conveyancing and gain exposure to development-led, project-based real estate work within a supportive and well-structured team.
