Offer description

We are seeking a diligent Conveyancing Paralegal to join our client's busy, client‑focused property team. The successful candidate will provide high‑quality paralegal and administrative support across a varied residential property caseload, contribute to excellent client care, ensure compliance with regulatory and firm procedures, and support efficient team workflows. This role provides experience across a range of conveyancing matters including purchases, sales, remortgages, transfers of equity and leasehold work, and offers hybrid working arrangements. Key responsibilities: Provide paralegal and administrative support to fee earners, progressing residential property transactions from instruction through to completion and post‑completion tasks under supervision. Conduct client identity checks and assist with anti‑money laundering (AML) compliance, ensuring audit‑ready documentation and accurate records are maintained in line with firm procedures. Open and maintain electronic case files, record clear case notes, milestones and actions, and assist with file reviews to support smooth progression of matters. Liaise professionally with clients, estate agents, mortgage lenders, surveyors, HM Land Registry, local authorities and other third parties to obtain documentation and chase outstanding items. Prepare routine correspondence, client engagement letters, standard documentation and contract packs using firm precedents, checking for accuracy and completeness. Prepare and check basic completion statements, process disbursement requests and client account transactions, and assist with billing and fee recovery activities in accordance with firm policies. Respond to routine client and third‑party enquiries by telephone and email, escalating complex issues to fee earners promptly and keeping clients informed of progress. Support continuous improvement by identifying administrative efficiencies, contributing to the update of precedents and assisting with the adoption of conveyancing technology and workflow tools. Provide support to junior colleagues and assist with induction activities, sharing knowledge of firm procedures and best practice where required. Key skills and experience required: Previous experience in an administrative or paralegal role within a conveyancing or residential property team, ideally in a law firm or conveyancing practice. Good understanding of residential property processes and common transaction types (sales, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity and leasehold matters). Familiarity with AML and client identification requirements and experience maintaining accurate, audit‑ready case files. Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities, meet deadlines and maintain attention to detail across multiple matters. Confident and professional communicator with good interpersonal skills and the ability to liaise effectively with clients, colleagues and external contacts. How to apply: Please submit your CV and a covering statement outlining your relevant experience and eligibility to work in the UK.
