What You'll Be Doing:
* Assisting lawyers with the day-to-day management of residential property transactions including sales, purchases, and re-mortgages.
* Liaising with clients, estate agents, mortgage lenders and other third parties to gather and share relevant information.
* Preparing and issuing contract packs, ordering property searches, and ensuring key milestones are met.
* Opening new files and guiding clients through the onboarding process.
* Maintaining accurate file records and case management system entries.
* Sorting and distributing incoming and outgoing post and providing general administrative support to the team.
