Residential Conveyancer
- Clear route to Deputy HoD / HoD, not just another fee earner role
- 2 days from home + realistic targets + monthly bonus scheme
- Strong referral network and cross-sell, no need to build from scratch
If you’re a conveyancer who enjoys running your own desk but wants more influence over how things are done, this role offers that balance.
You’ll step into a busy Macclesfield-based team with a steady flow of work and strong internal referrals from private client and family teams. From day one, you’ll take over a full caseload and be trusted to manage it end-to-end, with the expectation that you’ll keep things moving efficiently while maintaining high standards.
In the first 6–12 months, the focus is consistency: hitting billing targets, strengthening relationships with local agents, and bringing structure to your pipeline. Longer term, there’s a clear pathway into leadership, whether that’s mentoring more junior staff, taking ownership of processes, or progressing into a Deputy HoD or HoD role.
The culture is straightforward and grounded. It’s a team that values reliability, communication and getting the job done properly, without unnecessary hierarchy or corporate feel. There’s a social side too, but it’s not forced. You’ll be working alongside people who take their work seriously but don’t take themselves too seriously.
Who we’re looking for
- 3+ years’ PQE (Solicitor, Licensed Conveyancer or equivalent) in residential conveyancing
- Experience handling freehold, leasehold and new build transactions
- Ability to manage a full caseload independently
- Proven track record of consistent monthly billings
- Strong understanding of CQS standards and compliance requirements
- Experience building relationships with agents or referrers (Desired)
- Supervisory or mentoring experience (Desired)
- Familiarity with Proclaim case management system (Desired)
- Down-to-earth, proactive and able to work under pressure
What you’ll be doing
- Managing a caseload of residential conveyancing matters from instruction to completion
- Handling freehold, leasehold, remortgages, transfers of equity and new build work
- Maintaining strong file management, compliance and AML standards
- Building and maintaining relationships with local agents and developers
- Supervising and mentoring an assistant
- Contributing to improvements in case management systems and workflows
- Supporting review generation and client satisfaction initiatives
Salary & Benefits
- Monthly bonus scheme + additional incentives
- Hybrid working, 2 days from home
- Clear progression pathway to Deputy HoD / HoD / Associate Director
- Strong internal referral network and established pipeline of work
- 31 days holiday (including bank holidays) + birthday off + Christmas closure
- Westfield healthcare cash plan + virtual GP access
- 5% pension + 4x death in service
- Regular team socials, coffee mornings and events
