Job Description

We are looking for a Paralegal to support our conveyancing team with a mix of legal research, document preparation, and case support work. This role sits between the administrative Conveyancing Executive and a fully fee-earning Conveyancer: you will handle substantive legal tasks under supervision, including aspects of title investigation, search reviews, and client communication, while developing the case knowledge and judgment needed to progress toward a Conveyancer role.

What you will work on

• Assisting Conveyancers with title investigation, including reviewing office copy entries, planning searches, and environmental reports
• Preparing draft reports on title, contract packs, and standard form replies to enquiries under solicitor supervision
• Reviewing search results and flagging issues to the supervising Conveyancer
• Preparing completion statements, transfer deeds, and mortgage documentation under supervision
• Managing client correspondence and updating clients on case progress
• Conducting AML and source of funds checks at the direction of the supervising Conveyancer
• Supporting the Post Completion team with AP1 preparation and SDLT return documentation
• Maintaining accurate case records on the Homey platform
• Assisting with legal research on non-standard title or property issues as required

Requirements

What we are looking for

• Law degree, GDL, LPC, or equivalent legal qualification (completed or in progress)
• 1+ years of experience in a conveyancing, property law, or general legal support role
• Solid understanding of the residential conveyancing process and the key documents involved
• Strong written English: able to draft clear, accurate correspondence and legal documents
• Organised and thorough, with the ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously
• Keen to learn and develop: you are not looking for a static support role but a stepping stone to qualification

Nice to have

• CILEx membership or active study toward qualification as a licensed conveyancer or solicitor
• Experience using a conveyancing case management system
• Familiarity with HMLR portal, Land Registry searches, or AP1 submissions
• Exposure to leasehold or new build matters

Benefits

• Competitive Salary: Commensurate with experience. Paid in GBP with a UK contract.
• Opportunities for high-level professional development and organizational influence.
• Supportive work environment with a focus on work-life balance and employee well-being.
