Job description

A fantastic opportunity for an experienced Residential Conveyancer has arisen to join my client's team in their Stockton On Tees offices.

This is a permanent, full-time opportunity for a Conveyancing Executive to join a busy residential department with a view to taking over an existing caseload when an existing team member retires in Spring 2025.

The role will involve handling a broad spectrum of conveyancing matters including freehold and leasehold transactions, remortgages, transfers of equity, and new builds.

The candidate will ideally have a desire to advance, a following and have at least 2 years' experience of fee earning. Day to day you will be dealing with clients, managing your own caseload, participating in marketing and developing a professional network, and supporting the head of the Residential Conveyancing Department.

Key Responsibilities

1. You will be responsible for handling a caseload on a day-to-day basis which includes all aspects of the conveyancing transaction from instruction to completion.
2. Taking instructions, keeping accurate file notes, communicating with clients and 3rd parties, and completing tasks. You will draft legal documents including Standard Precedent Letters, Contract Packs, Title Reports, Exchange and Completion letters, general correspondence, and Land Registry and HMRC forms.
3. Carry out Pre-completion, Land Registry and Conveyancing searches accurately and timely.
4. You will have a mixed caseload of Freeholds and Leaseholds. You will also receive training on more complex matters such as shared ownership, unregistered properties, acting for companies, lease variations and extensions, and new builds.

Skills and Experience:

1. Qualified candidates with a Law Degree, LPC, qualified Licensed Conveyancer, Solicitor or Legal Executive (FCILEX) are preferred but not essential.
2. You will be experienced in managing a conveyancing caseload with 2+ years experience.
3. Excellent communicator, who can demonstrate good time management, alongside organisational and problem-solving skills. Accuracy and the ability to pay attention to detail is crucial.
