A well-regarded UK law firm is looking to appoint a Real Estate Paralegal to join its busy residential property team in London.
This is a great opportunity for someone with previous conveyancing experience who enjoys being involved in live matters and wants to build strong, hands-on experience across the full lifecycle of residential property transactions. The vacancy has arisen because the current post holder is starting a training contract, so it would suit someone ambitious, hardworking and keen to develop within a supportive legal environment.
Working closely with a solicitor, you will assist with a range of residential conveyancing files from initial instruction through to post-completion. The role will involve regular liaison with clients and third parties, as well as providing administrative and transactional support throughout the conveyancing process.
Typical duties will include file opening, AML compliance, exchange, completion and post-completion administration, drafting financial statements and invoices, submitting AP1 and SDLT forms, updating internal and external systems, archiving and general matter administration. You will also have client contact under supervision.
Previous conveyancing experience gained in a legal environment is essential. Ideally, you will have a law degree, although strong practical experience will also be important. You should be confident working to deadlines, able to use your initiative, commercially aware and comfortable dealing with clients and colleagues in a professional manner.
This is a full-time role based in London, with some hybrid working potentially available after probation and appropriate training.
For someone looking to continue building a career in residential property, this is a strong opportunity to join a busy and supportive team where you can take on real responsibility and develop your technical skills further.
