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.

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
