Residential Conveyancer

• Residential Conveyancer role with full ownership of a local branch
• Opportunity to lead and shape a developing office long-term
• Office-based role with autonomy, strong client relationships and progression

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Residential Conveyancer to take real ownership of a local branch within a long-established, well-respected regional firm.

The role goes beyond fee-earning alone. You’ll be trusted to run your own caseload, become the day-to-day lead for the office, and play a key part in shaping how the branch develops. This is a role for someone who values quality, continuity and personal service over volume.

You’ll step into a position where you can build things properly from the ground up, with the freedom to create efficient systems, nurture introducer relationships, and establish yourself as the face of conveyancing locally.

Who we’re looking for

• Strong experience managing residential files end-to-end independently
• Comfortable handling autonomy and representing the firm locally
• Confident building and maintaining relationships with agents and referrers
• Warm, friendly and grounded
• Client-focused with a sincere, fair approach
• Naturally personable and confident speaking with clients and introducers (Desired)
• High-street conveyancing background preferred (Desired)

What you’ll be doing

• Managing a mixed residential conveyancing caseload from instruction to completion
• Taking ownership of the branch’s day-to-day running
• Building strong relationships with local agents and introducers
• Helping grow the branch’s reputation and long-term presence
• Supervising and supporting a secretary/assistant
• Creating strong foundations for the branch’s future growth

There’s no micromanagement on billable hours, success is measured by outcomes, client service and the strength of local relationships.

Salary & Benefits

• Billing target: 3.5× salary (no strict hourly micromanagement)
• Fully office-based role
• Work within a stable, long-standing firm
• Supportive, people-first culture
• Strong emphasis on fairness and trust
• Clear long-term opportunity to grow with the branch
• Strong internal progression culture with genuine examples at leadership level
