Salary: £50,000–£60,000 + firmwide bonus scheme
Location: Northampton, office-based five days a week during probation. Agile working may be available after successful completion of probation.
Residential Conveyancing Manager in Northampton or Hampshire, £50,000–£60,000 plus bonus scheme. Handle complex title and new build work while mentoring junior colleagues.
If you enjoy solving the title issues that can hold up a transaction and want more responsibility for how a team handles its files, this role gives you room to do both. You’ll run your own residential caseload, support junior colleagues and help maintain the quality of work across the team.
It’s a good fit for an experienced Conveyancing Manager who wants to stay hands-on, or a Senior Conveyancer ready to make supervision a formal part of their role.
What’s different about this role
Keep the technical work you enjoy. Your caseload will include new builds, unregistered property and transactions involving complex title issues, alongside freehold and leasehold sales and purchases.
Help junior colleagues build their judgement. You’ll guide paralegals through technical queries, review files and help them spot issues before they delay a transaction.
Take ownership of key relationships. You’ll manage referrals from established accounts and work directly with developers, housebuilders, lenders and referrers.
What’s in it for you
- £50,000–£60,000 salary and a firmwide bonus scheme.
- 25 days’ starting annual leave, rising with service, with the option to buy additional days.
- Private medical and dental options, pension and life assurance.
- Enhanced family leave and access to backup care.
- Professional development support, including paid professional subscriptions and support with eligible study costs.
The work
- Run a busy residential caseload from instruction to completion, covering freehold, leasehold, new build and unregistered property.
- Investigate and report on title, deal with restrictions, easements, covenants and defects, and escalate risks where appropriate.
- Supervise and support junior colleagues, contribute to file reviews and help maintain compliance and quality standards.
- Manage key account referrals and keep clients and work providers informed so transactions progress and deadlines are met.
What we’re looking for
- Strong residential conveyancing experience and the ability to manage a high-volume caseload independently, including freehold, leasehold and new build transactions.
- Confidence investigating and reporting on title and handling complex title issues.
- Experience working with developers, housebuilders, lenders or referrers, with the ability to manage expectations when a transaction hits a snag.
- Experience supervising, mentoring or supporting junior colleagues, alongside a good understanding of file review, compliance and risk.
- Strong organisation and attention to detail, with confidence using Microsoft Office and a conveyancing case management system.
Experience with shared ownership, transfers of equity, remortgages or escalated technical matters would be useful.
If you’d like to stay hands-on with conveyancing while taking on more responsibility for junior colleagues and file quality, apply for a confidential conversation or reach out to James at Wilson Mannion Recruitment.
