This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to build a career in residential conveyancing, whether you already have experience in a legal support role or are looking to take your first step into the legal sector.

The firm specialises in residential property and handles a varied range of transactions, from everyday home moves to high-value properties. With a strong focus on client service, modern technology and developing its people, this is an opportunity to join a business that genuinely invests in its team.

Importantly, this role offers a clear pathway for progression, with opportunities to develop into a Senior Conveyancing Assistant, Paralegal or eventually a fee-earning position. Training, a professional development plan and study support are available for those looking to gain further qualifications.

The Role

Working closely with Solicitors and Conveyancing Fee Earners, you will support the progression of residential property transactions and help ensure clients receive an efficient, professional service.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Handling incoming telephone calls, emails and client enquiries, ensuring responses are dealt with promptly and professionally.
• Preparing and processing new client care documentation electronically.
• Completing client identification, verification and source-of-funds checks in line with regulatory requirements.
• Carrying out title checks under the direction of a Fee Earner.
• Preparing and issuing contract packs.
• Obtaining mortgage redemption statements.
• Assisting with pre-contract enquiries on sale files under appropriate supervision.
• Preparing pre-completion documentation, including invoices and statements of account.
• Updating the case management system to ensure files accurately reflect the progress of each transaction.
• Supporting Solicitors and Fee Earners with day-to-day tasks to keep matters moving efficiently.
• Liaising with clients and third parties, maintaining excellent working relationships and delivering a high standard of customer service.

This is a varied role where you will gain hands‑on experience across the conveyancing process, developing your technical knowledge and confidence as you progress.
