Are you an experienced Conveyancer looking to take ownership of the entire property journey, from initial land acquisition through to handing over keys on new build plots? This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing residential development team and play a pivotal role in bringing large-scale housing projects to life.
Location: Birmingham (Hybrid considered)
Salary: Up to £40,000 + benefits

The Opportunity
Our client, a leading name in the residential property sector, is seeking a talented Conveyancer with strong experience handling a conveyancing caseload independently. You will be responsible for overseeing transactions from instruction through to completion, working closely with developers, land teams and buyers to ensure a seamless legal process on new build plots and residential developments.
This position offers exposure to both freehold and leasehold transactions, unregistered titles, part-exchange properties, and plot sales.

- Draft and issue contracts, deal with pre-contract enquiries and prepare completion statements
- Review title documents, searches and reports, advising clients on risks and obligations
- Liaise with developers, buyers, lenders and stakeholders to ensure timely exchange and completion
- Handle all post-completion matters including SDLT submissions and Land Registry registrations
- Maintain an efficient caseload in line with target turnaround times
About You
- Minimum 3-5 years' experience in residential conveyancing (new build or plot sales experience advantageous but not required)
- Able to run a caseload autonomously from instruction to completion
- Strong knowledge of freehold and leasehold transactions
- Excellent communication and client relationship-building skills
- Highly organised, detail-focused and commercially aware
- Proactive approach with the ability to manage competing deadlines
What's on Offer
