Residential Conveyancer (Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive)
Location: Farnborough
About the role
Our client is a well‑established small firm in Farnborough looking for a qualified residential conveyancer to join their team as a fee earner. This is a hands‑on role running your own caseload from instruction through to completion – the kind of varied, quality‑led work that gets squeezed out at the larger volume firms.
You’ll work directly with clients, estate agents, and other professionals, supported by a close‑knit team that values doing the job properly over chasing numbers.
What you’ll be doing
* Managing a residential conveyancing caseload end‑to‑end – freehold, leasehold, new build, and shared ownership
* Liaising with clients, agents, lenders, and other parties throughout each transaction
* Drafting and reviewing contracts, transfer deeds, and supporting documentation
* Conducting property searches and reviewing title
* Handling SDLT, AML and source‑of‑funds checks, and Land Registry submissions
* Keeping clients clearly informed at every stage, and resolving issues as they arise
* Maintaining accurate case records on our case management system
What we’re looking for
* Qualified Solicitor (SRA‑regulated) or Chartered Legal Executive (CILEx / Fellow CILEx)
* Minimum 3 years’ post‑qualification experience in residential conveyancing
* Confident running a caseload independently
* Strong drafting, communication, and client‑care skills
* Solid IT skills and experience with conveyancing case management software
* Excellent organisation and the ability to manage competing priorities
* Experience across leasehold, new build, shared ownership, and Help to Buy
* A local network across Surrey, Hampshire, or Berkshire
* Familiarity with systems such as LEAP, Proclaim, Osprey, or Quill
Please note: this role is for a qualified fee earner. We’re not considering paralegal‑level applicants on this occasion.
What’s on offer
* Competitive salary of £50,000 – £70,000 depending on experience
* A manageable caseload – quality over volume
* Supportive, collegiate team in a friendly office environment
* Career progression in a firm that invests in its people
