About the role
We have a great opportunity for an individual to join our Real Estate Group in the Affordable Housing team as a Conveyancing Assistant at our Birmingham office on a 9‑month fixed‑term contract.
Job Description
Our conveyancing specialists handle a high volume of transactions, including shared ownership sales and resales, extra care and retirement schemes, staircasing, lease extensions, enfranchisement, right to buy/right to acquire disposals, land disposals, buy‑backs and auction sales, ensuring smooth, efficient and well‑managed outcomes for our clients.
As a Conveyancing Assistant, you’ll be supporting our Conveyancers in managing volume plot sales and residential property transactions for registered providers. Your responsibilities will include assisting with transactions, maintaining accurate records, carrying out searches, research and analysis, responding to a wide range of enquiries, and communicating confidently with colleagues, clients, agents and other contacts both verbally and in writing. You will also maintain strong financial hygiene and use finance reporting and billing systems with confidence.
About you
We are looking for someone who enjoys working as part of an inclusive, collaborative and supportive team, where everyone contributes to shared success and growth.

In this role, you will need to remain calm under pressure, manage a busy workload effectively by prioritising tasks and responding to competing demands, and work closely with colleagues and wider project teams.
