Job Description
Conveyancing Paralegal - Leeds
A well-established residential conveyancing team is looking to recruit an experienced Conveyancing Paralegal to support a busy and highly regarded Real Estate practice. This opportunity would suit someone seeking a new challenge in a transactional role where fee-earning experience is highly desirable.
The Role:
This position sits within a small but busy residential conveyancing team and focuses heavily on sales transactions.
Day-to-day responsibilities will include:
- Handling sales enquiries and residential conveyancing transactions (this is a core part of the role, so proven transactional experience is essential)
- Managing files from inception through to post-completion, including matter opening, data input, file reviews and closures
- Preparing standard engagement letters and contract documentation
- Liaising with clients, solicitors, lenders and other third parties
- Requesting searches, redemption statements, deeds and information from the Land Registry, search providers and lenders
- Drafting transfer deeds and replies to pre-completion requisitions
- Preparing matters for completion and assisting with completions
- Post-completion work including Land Registry registrations, serving notices on managing agents or landlords and dealing with requisitions (preferred but not essential)
- Preparing and submitting Stamp Duty Land Tax returns to HMRC
About You:
My client is seeking an experienced Conveyancing Assistant who is ideally operating in a fee-earning capacity or has strong exposure to fee-earning work. You should be comfortable supporting residential conveyancing matters from start to finish, with a particular emphasis on transactional work. Experience in post-completion is advantageous but not a prerequisite.
You will be motivated, commercially aware and able to manage a busy workload while remaining calm under pressure. The ability to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team is essential.
Location & Working Pattern
The role is based in Leeds, with the flexibility to work from home two days per week.
Benefits
The firm offers a comprehensive and competitive benefits package, including:
- 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays and your birthday off (with options to buy or sell holiday and flex bank holidays)
- Medical cash plan
- Reward and recognition schemes
- Paid volunteer days
- Pension and life assurance
- Generous family-friendly policies
- A strong focus on wellbeing, including wellness programmes and initiatives
- Additional benefits such as retail discounts, reduced travel and parking costs and a cycle-to-work scheme with secure bike storage
Employees are also encouraged to get involved in internal clubs, networks and committees, offering excellent opportunities to build lasting professional relationships and engage with firm life beyond day-to-day work.
