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.
Senior Technical Conveyancer in Northampton, £50,000–£60,000 plus bonus scheme. Handle complex residential property transactions and advise colleagues on technical escalations.
If the files you enjoy most are the ones that need careful title investigation, bespoke drafting or a judgement call on risk, this role puts that work at the centre of your day. You’ll manage your own residential transactions and be a point of reference for colleagues when a file needs a second opinion.
It’s a good fit for a Senior Conveyancer who wants to specialise further, a Technical Conveyancer looking for a broader mix of work, or a Conveyancing Manager who wants to focus on technical matters and mentoring.
What’s different about this role
Use your drafting skills. You’ll work on matters involving transfers of part, new leases, easements, options and overage, and see your advice through to completion.
Give tailored advice on complex transactions. You’ll handle high-value property work, including matters involving rural property or trusts, and help clients understand their options when issues arise.
Be the person colleagues turn to on difficult files. You’ll advise on escalations, contribute to file reviews and help the team spot similar issues earlier.
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 and unregistered property, new builds, shared ownership, transfers of equity and remortgages.
- Investigate and report on title, resolve complex issues and draft or review documents such as deeds of variation, deeds of easement, new leases and transfers of part.
- Advise colleagues on technical escalations and support file reviews, risk management and quality control.
- Work with clients, developers, housebuilders, lenders and referrers, keeping them informed when technical issues affect a transaction.
What we’re looking for
- Significant residential conveyancing experience across freehold, leasehold and unregistered property, new builds, shared ownership, transfers of equity and remortgages.
- Confidence checking and reporting on title, with experience of complex drafting and transactions involving options, overage, rural property or trusts.
- Experience handling high-value property transactions and tailoring your advice and service to high-net-worth clients.
- The ability to manage a high-volume caseload independently, handle escalated matters and exercise sound judgement on compliance and risk.
- Experience supporting or mentoring colleagues, clear communication and confidence using Microsoft Office and conveyancing case management systems.
Experience delivering technical training, improving processes or formally supervising a team would be useful.
