Salary: £35,000–£50,000 basic + up to £50,000 performance bonus
Location: South Manchester, office-based five days a week, part-time considered
Qualified Residential Conveyancer in South Manchester. £35k–£50k basic plus up to £50k performance bonus, with dedicated onboarding and post-completion support.
If you enjoy running your own files and want more time for the legal work, this South Manchester practice has dedicated onboarding and post-completion support. You’ll take ownership once the client is onboarded, with paralegals and trainees on hand as your transactions progress.
The basic salary is £35,000–£50,000, with up to £50,000 in additional bonus based on completion performance. The firm also monitors live file numbers and brings in extra resource when workloads rise, with the aim of keeping evenings and weekends free.
What’s different about this role
Support at both ends of the file. Clients are onboarded before their files reach you, and trainees typically help with post-completion. That gives you more time to resolve legal issues and keep clients informed.
A bonus linked to completions. Your bonus is based on the transactions you complete, with thresholds that reflect your level. A dedicated business development team brings in residential instructions so you can focus on progressing them.
A varied caseload with colleagues close by. You’ll run your own residential matters and have colleagues in the office to talk through a tricky point. You’ll also have opportunities to share what you know with trainees.
What’s in it for you
- £35,000–£50,000 basic salary plus up to £50,000 in performance-based bonus
- Scope to discuss adjusted office hours, including around school runs, and part-time arrangements
- 20 days’ annual leave, a day off for your birthday and additional leave with length of service up to 25 days
- Christmas office closure
- Option to join the private medical scheme after six months’ probation
- Employee discounts and on-site parking, with rail and tram links nearby
- Regular competitions with prizes you actually want from a leadership team that have created a family feel culture
The work
- Manage a varied caseload of residential sales and purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity from onboarding through to completion.
- Resolve legal enquiries and keep transactions moving.
- Explain issues, options and next steps to clients in plain English.
- Work with paralegals and trainees as files progress and coordinate the handover for post-completion.
What we’re looking for
- A professional qualification and relevant residential conveyancing experience. Solicitors, Licensed Conveyancers and CILEX-qualified conveyancers are welcome.
- The confidence to take ownership of residential transactions and recognise when to seek input.
- An empathetic approach to clients, especially when a transaction becomes stressful or complicated.
Applications are welcome from newly qualified through to experienced conveyancers.
The culture
