Residential Property Solicitor - Hybrid

Mallory Pryce
London

We are seeking a residential property solicitor to join a busy property team with offices across South and East Midlands areas. The successful candidate will manage a varied caseload of residential property matters including sales, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity, leasehold transactions and associated post-completion work. The role offers exposure to both transactional work and client-facing matters, with opportunities for development and progression within a supportive, client‑centred firm.

The firm is known for delivering high quality client care and pragmatic legal advice. The team values technical accuracy, efficient case management and collaborative working. This is a hybrid role with a mix of office and remote working.

Key responsibilities:

  • Manage a caseload of varied residential property transactions from initial instruction to completion, ensuring files are progressed promptly and clients receive clear, practical advice.

  • Conduct thorough pre-transaction checks including title investigations, searches, leases and planning considerations, and advise clients on risks, conditions and next steps.

  • Prepare, review and negotiate contracts, transfer documents, mortgage deeds, lease documentation and related conveyancing paperwork in accordance with practice procedures and regulatory requirements.

  • Liaise with clients, lenders, estate agents, surveyors and other third parties to obtain required information, resolve issues and progress matters to completion.

  • Undertake anti‑money laundering (AML) and client identity checks, maintain compliant, audit‑ready files and follow firm policies and regulatory obligations.

  • Manage completions, post-completion registration and relevant indemnity policies, ensuring timely and accurate reporting of file activity and costs.

  • Provide clear cost estimates and client care letters, record time and costs accurately and assist with billing and cost recovery processes.

  • Proactively identify and escalate complex or high‑risk matters, instruct counsel or experts where necessary and implement appropriate mitigation strategies.

  • Contribute to the development of precedents, checklists and workflow improvements to enhance efficiency and share best practice within the team.

  • Provide support and guidance to more junior colleagues, assisting with training, file supervision and technical queries.

Key skills and experience required:

  • Qualified solicitor with demonstrable experience in residential conveyancing (typically 2+ years PQE or equivalent transactional experience).

  • Sound knowledge of residential property law, title matters, leasehold/freehold issues and common transaction types including purchases, sales and remortgages.

  • Experience of dealing with lenders, preparing and reviewing mortgage documentation and managing lender requirements to completion.

  • Proven ability to draft clear correspondence and documents, with excellent attention to detail and a strong commitment to client care.

  • Good case and time management skills, able to manage competing priorities and maintain high standards under pressure.

  • Familiarity with case management systems and willingness to support digital workflows, e-conveyancing processes and process improvement initiatives.

  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build and maintain professional relationships with clients and third parties.

  • Commitment to working inclusively and collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team and to upholding regulatory and ethical standards.
