Specialist Boutique Property Firm
Location: London
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience
Working pattern: Office-based
Experience required: Conveyancing experience essential
A specialist boutique property firm is looking to appoint a motivated and detail-oriented Conveyancing Paralegal to join its growing property team.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with hands-on residential and/or commercial conveyancing experience who is looking to develop their career within a focused property law environment. The successful candidate will work closely with experienced fee earners and gain exposure to a broad range of property matters, including sales, purchases, new leases, remortgages, transfer of equity, leasehold matters and post-completion work.
The firm would suit someone who is ambitious, organised and keen to build a long-term career in property law. This is a particularly good fit for a candidate who wants to move away from a purely administrative role and continue developing technical conveyancing experience within a specialist team.
The role will involve:
Supporting fee earners on residential and commercial conveyancing matters from initial instruction through to post-completion
Assisting with freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
Drafting and reviewing legal documents relating to property transactions
Preparing and issuing contract packs
Raising and responding to enquiries
Reviewing title documents, leases, searches and mortgage-related paperwork
Liaising with clients, solicitors, estate agents, lenders and other third parties
Preparing reports on title under supervision
Submitting OS1, OS2, K16 and Land Registry applications
Assisting with Certificates of Title, AP1s and post-completion formalities
Updating case management systems and ensuring files are kept accurate and compliant
Supporting with AML checks, client onboarding and general conveyancing administration
Managing deadlines and helping ensure transactions progress smoothly and efficiently
The successful candidate will have:
Previous conveyancing experience gained within a law firm
Exposure to residential property matters, ideally including both freehold and leasehold transactions
Experience assisting with sales, purchases, remortgages and/or transfer of equity matters
Good understanding of the conveyancing process from instruction to completion
Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage deadlines effectively
Confident communication skills when dealing with clients and third parties
A professional, organised and proactive approach
Strong IT skills, including Microsoft Office and case management systems
A genuine interest in building a long-term career within property law
Why this opportunity stands out:
Join a specialist boutique property firm with a clear focus on property law
Gain exposure to more technical property matters beyond standard conveyancing
Work closely with experienced solicitors and senior fee earners
Develop your confidence across the full conveyancing process
Opportunity to take on responsibility and build strong client-facing experience
Ideal platform for someone looking to progress within a reputable property-focused practice
This role would be well suited to a Conveyancing Paralegal, who has already gained practical conveyancing experience and is now looking for a stronger platform to continue developing their legal career.
