Property Lawyer – Peterborough City Council
£49,764 – £53,895 + Excellent Benefits | Permanent | Hybrid (2 days in office)
Join a supportive, experienced team at the centre of Peterborough’s transformation. As a Property Lawyer, you’ll manage a broad commercial property caseload – supporting everything from land deals and leasing to major regeneration schemes like the Station Quarter.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Advising on acquisitions, disposals, and commercial lease negotiations
* Drafting leases, licences, option agreements and asset-related contracts
* Handling landlord and tenant matters, including rent reviews, lease renewals, and dilapidations
* Supporting regeneration and infrastructure projects with strategic legal input
* Advising on agricultural property transactions and academy leases (with support as needed)
* Collaborating with developers, agents, and internal teams on complex deals
Why This Role Stands Out
* Genuine Variety – Handle everything from estate management to cutting-edge regeneration
* Strategic Impact – Your work directly enables development, infrastructure, and local services
* Experienced Team – Join a stable, friendly team that values collaboration and knowledge sharing
* Growth Opportunity – Broaden your expertise across the full range of commercial property law
* Work-Life Balance – Hybrid model, no long hours, and a well-connected, supportive office
What We’re Looking For
* Qualified Solicitor, Barrister or CILEx Fellow
* Strong experience in commercial property transactions
* Confidence managing leases, landlord/tenant issues, and negotiations
* A clear communicator and team player who can manage multiple matters simultaneously
