More2Life | Part of Key Group
Preston (Hybrid working available)
Full-time | Permanent
About More2Life
More2Life, part of Key Group, has been a leading force in the equity release market since 2008. From our Preston office, we support thousands of customers every month in unlocking a better retirement, making us one of the UK's largest lifetime mortgage lenders.
We're now looking for an experienced Conveyancer to join our in-house Property Legal Team, supporting our lending operations through technical conveyancing expertise and title-based problem-solving.
The Role
You'll play an important role in reviewing complex titles, resolving non-standard property issues, and helping ensure that equity release cases progress safely, efficiently and in line with regulatory expectations.
This role is ideal for a conveyancer who enjoys investigating title issues, supporting complex cases and working closely with wider business teams, rather than traditional conveyancing workloads.
What You'll Be Doing
* Reviewing and interpreting residential property titles, including non-standard or high-risk cases
* Investigating issues such as restrictive covenants, easements, leasehold complexities, unregistered land, trusts, shared ownership and overage provisions
* Supporting the resolution of title defects that could impact lender security or customer outcomes
* Advising on title acceptability for lifetime mortgages
* Supporting escalated cases from paralegals and conveyancing teams
* Handling Land Registry matters, discharges and post-completion queries
* Ensuring conveyancing activity aligns with FCA requirements, Consumer Duty and Equity Release Council standards
* Contributing to quality assurance, legal risk reviews and process improvements
* Sharing knowledge and best practice with colleagues across the legal and property teams
What We're Looking For
Essential
* Strong experience in residential conveyancing
* Confident reviewing and interpreting complex title documentation
* Comfortable assessing legal risk and escalating issues appropriately
* Excellent attention to detail and clear communication skills
* Ability to work in a fast-paced, regulated environment
Desirable
* Experience in equity release or mortgage lending
* Understanding of Consumer Duty or regulated lending environments
* Experience supporting technical or escalated conveyancing cases
* Interest in long-term development within an in-house legal or property team
(Qualified solicitors are welcome to apply, but this role is equally suited to experienced conveyancers looking to progress.)
Why Join Us
* In-house conveyancing role - no fee targets or completion pressures
* Greater exposure to technical conveyancing and property risk
* Opportunity to develop your expertise beyond day-to-day transactions
* Supportive team with clear development pathways
* Hybrid working from our Preston office
* Competitive benefits package and long-term career opportunities within Key Group
