Conveyancing Solicitor - Caversham, RG4 8JB

Negotiable Basic Salary + Generous Bonus + Benefits

 

In return you will be joining a busy, friendly office and receive:

  • 35 hour working week
  • 4 weeks annual leave + bank holidays + Christmas shut down
  • Support in personal goals and career development
  • Employee pension scheme
  • Generous bonus scheme

 

Due to continued expansion, this is an exciting opportunity to join a successful local law practice as a Conveyancing Fee Earner.

As a competent and confident fee earner you will be comfortable with managing a busy caseload in a fast-paced department.  Adept in all types of domestic conveyancing matters, including freehold, leasehold, new build, registered and unregistered, you will be familiar with case management systems and have excellent IT literacy, with only the need for basic administrative support. Of course bringing in own workload  to add to existing business here would be advantageous and preferable

The successful candidate will be an excellent team player, with the ability to work independently and oversee the running of the office in the absence of the Partner.  Exceptional communication skills, both oral and written, are a must as the role will involve being the primary contact for all third-party communication with other solicitors, estate agents, local developers and clients.  You will be equally skilled in managing communications over the telephone/in writing as you are in attending to clients in the office.

Your proven ability to remain clam under pressure will be complemented by your excellent negotiation skills and can-do attitude which will ensure client transactions run smoothly and any potential issues are identified and overcome swiftly.

 

The day to day work of the role will include the following elements/tasks in a typical conveyancing transaction:

  • Providing initial quotations
  • Setting up files
  • Dealing with clients, agents, solicitors on the phone, by email and in person
  • Preparing and sending out draft contract papers
  • Answering enquiries on sales
  • Raising enquiries and submitting searches on purchases
  • Attending clients for signing
  • Preparing reports on purchases
  • Exchanging contracts and all paperwork involved
  • Preparing completion paperwork on transactions
  • Dealing with post completion leasehold paperwork, including notices
  • Knowledge to deal with land registry applications to register, stamp duty submissions and land registry requisitions

 

Some experience of private client wills and probate would be advantageous but is not essential as training will be provided for the right candidate.
