About this role
QED are working on behalf of an excellent Legal 500 law firm based in Cheshire, offering a position for a Residential Conveyancing Solicitor or experienced Property Lawyer to join its highly regarded conveyancing department. The role offers responsibility for your own files alongside assistant support and hybrid working.
Experienced paralegal assistance
Separate onboarding and post-completion teams
Best-in-class client base and caseload
Hybrid working
Ideally, you will have experience managing your own residential conveyancing caseload and be comfortable progressing transactions independently. Applications are welcomed from Solicitors, licensed conveyancers and Fellows of CILEx, with consideration also given to part-qualified candidates actively working towards these qualifications. Strong technical knowledge, clear communication and a client-focused approach will be important.
The practice’s conveyancing practice covers residential sales and purchases, freehold and leasehold properties, new-build transactions and remortgages. You will therefore have exposure to a varied residential caseload, rather than being restricted to a single transaction type, while building relationships with clients, estate agents and lenders.
One of the main attractions is the support structure around the fee earner. With excellent paralegal assistance, a dedicated onboarding team and specialist post-completion support, together with an intake cap of new matters per month.
Working alongside your assistant, you will take ownership of progressing transactions, maintaining compliance and ensuring clients receive clear, practical advice throughout their move. The role also involves supporting colleagues and providing day-to-day direction to your assistant, making it an ideal environment for someone who is looking to gain responsibility within a team for a future managerial seat. Cloud-based systems and integrated case-management software support the department’s work across its office network.
Salary is £35,000-£65,000 depending on experience, alongside bonus earning potential, private medical insurance and 24/7 GP access for you and your immediate family. Package includes 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays and Christmas shutdown. For further information, please contact Luke Hassall at for a confidential chat.
