About the Role:
You'll be joining a busy and well-established conveyancing department, managing a full caseload of residential property matters from instruction to post-completion. The team is particularly active in auction work, so the ability to work efficiently and meet tight deadlines is key.

Handle both freehold and leasehold transactions
Review titles, draft contracts, raise/respond to enquiries, and manage completions

OR 10+ years' experience handling your own conveyancing caseload
Strong technical knowledge across all aspects of residential conveyancing
Ability to work independently and hit the ground running
Comfortable supporting junior colleagues and sharing knowledge
Experience with auction transactions is a bonus, but not essential
No need to bring a following - there's plenty of work available
Why Join This Firm?
Performance-based bonus paid quarterly (after probation) - realistic and achievable
Supportive team culture - relaxed, friendly, and flexible
Excellent staff retention - many team members have been with the firm for over 10 years
