Residential Conveyancing Fee Earner
Manchester / Hybrid Working
Salary: Competitive – Commensurate with Experience
Are you an experienced Residential Conveyancer seeking a new and rewarding opportunity with greater flexibility and room for growth? Join a reputable and client-focused law firm offering hybrid working, a supportive team environment, and the chance to handle a wide-ranging caseload that reflects your expertise.
  
The Role:
You will play a vital role within a well-established and friendly property team, providing high-quality legal support to clients navigating some of the most important transactions of their lives. Your role will be both client-facing and technically engaging, giving you the autonomy to manage files independently with access to remote working and a collaborative team culture.
Key responsibilities include:

• Managing a full and varied caseload of residential property transactions from instruction through to post-completion with minimal supervision.
• Advising clients on all aspects of the conveyancing process, including sales and purchases of freehold and leasehold properties, new builds, remortgages, and transfers of equity.
• Handling more complex matters such as lease extensions, unregistered land, shared ownership, and right-to-buy where applicable.
• Liaising effectively with clients, estate agents, mortgage lenders, and other legal professionals to progress matters smoothly and efficiently.
• Drafting and reviewing contracts, conducting title checks, raising enquiries, and ensuring all regulatory compliance is met throughout the process.
• Maintaining accurate and up-to-date records using case management software.
• Providing a consistently high standard of client care, delivering legal advice in a clear and approachable manner to build long-term relationships.

  
What We’re Looking For:

• A minimum of 3 years’ experience in residential conveyancing, ideally within a busy high-street or regional practice.
• Confidence in handling files autonomously with strong technical knowledge across all standard conveyancing matters.
• Experience in commercial or light commercial conveyancing would be advantageous but is not essential.
• A proactive and organised approach to file management, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a commitment to maintaining a high standard of client service.
• A team player who enjoys working collaboratively but can also work independently when needed.
• Comfortable working in a hybrid environment, with strong IT skills and experience using case management systems.
