Experienced Conveyancing Legal Secretary Excellent Law Firm Altrincham
An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Conveyancing Legal Secretary to join an established law firm based in Altrincham.
This is a varied and important position within the firm, providing essential secretarial and administrative support across its property department, with a particular emphasis on post-completion work, redemptions and Land Registry matters.
The firm is looking for someone with a strong background in conveyancing who can hit the ground running, take ownership of their workload and provide reliable support in a busy legal environment.
The Role
Working alongside the property team, your responsibilities will include:
- Providing comprehensive secretarial and administrative support to the property department.
- Assisting with post-completion processes and managing redemption matters.
- Dealing with the release of charges, notices and restrictions registered against property titles.
- Preparing and processing Land Registry documentation, including DS1s, DS3s, CN1s and RX4s.
- Lodging applications and supporting documentation with HM Land Registry.
- Using the HM Land Registry Portal to submit applications, monitor progress and deal with outstanding requirements.
- Assisting with the preparation and processing of discharge and release documentation.
- Liaising with lenders, clients, solicitors and other third parties to ensure matters progress efficiently.
- Maintaining accurate records and ensuring all post-completion requirements are dealt with within the appropriate timescales.
- Providing general secretarial support, including document preparation, correspondence, file management and handling telephone enquiries.
Requirements
The successful candidate will have previous experience working as a Conveyancing Legal Secretary within a law firm, ideally with exposure to post-completion and redemption work.
You should have a good understanding of Land Registry procedures and experience dealing with charges, notices, restrictions and associated release documentation.
Familiarity with DS1s, DS3s, CN1s and RX4s is highly desirable, as is practical experience using the HM Land Registry Portal.
You will be highly organised, proactive and comfortable managing competing priorities. Strong communication skills, attention to detail and the ability to work independently are essential.
The Opportunity
This is an excellent opportunity to join a specialist property practice in a role that offers considerably more responsibility and involvement than a traditional legal secretarial position.
