Residential & Commercial Property Solicitor | £40,000–£48,000

This is an opportunity to join a close-knit property team where colleagues know each other, clients still come into the office, and there is room to shape what comes next.
A long-serving senior partner has retired. The firm is already turning commercial property work away and would welcome a lawyer who enjoys both residential conveyancing and building relationships with local business clients.
About the role

  • Manage residential sales and purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity and lease extensions.
  • Handle commercial leases, sales and purchases, from local shops to higher-value matters.
  • Work alongside an established property lawyer and secretarial colleagues, with support from the wider team.
  • Help the firm take on more of the commercial property work coming its way.

What we are looking for

  • A qualified solicitor or legal executive with around 2–3 years’ property experience or more.
  • Confidence handling residential conveyancing and commercial property matters.
  • Someone personable and practical who enjoys seeing clients face to face and getting on with the job.

What’s in it for you

  • £40,000–£48,000, depending on experience.
  • Secretarial support and office parking.
  • One day working from home each week.
  • 25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays and a Christmas closure.
  • Pension, a health and wellbeing programme, annual salary reviews and a training budget.
  • Potential progression towards partnership as the firm plans for the future.

About the company
Staff turnover is low, and the team describes the working environment as sociable and supportive. Colleagues get together for quiz nights, cinema trips and family events, while the firm takes a practical approach when someone needs flexibility during the working day.
The firm values time together in the office so colleagues can share ideas and clients can meet their lawyer in person. You would be part of a small team, with the backing of a wider firm.

In application for this role, you are consenting to TN Recruits Ltd retaining your details to secure you work. All information provided will be held securely for up to 3 years unless we are contacted and instructed otherwise.
