A commercial, forward thinking law firm are looking for a residential property paralegal to join their team and deliver a high-quality service and care to the firm’s established client base. You will be running your own caseload from instruction to post-completion and dealing with both sales and purchases of properties.

Key duties will include:

• Submitting AP1 and SDLT forms
• Drafting reports on title
• Liaising with clients and third parties (mortgage lenders etc.)
• Dealing with enquiries
• File opening
• Companies House Registrations
• AML checks
• File closing including matter balances
• Post completion tasks
• Sending out draft contract packs
• Scheduling of deeds to mortgage lenders
• Drafting agreements, deeds and contracts
• Reviewing and reporting on title

It is essential that you have at least 6 months’ experience as a residential property paralegal and excellent drafting skills, attention to detail and be client focussed. You will be running your own caseload (with supervision) and so you must be able to hit the ground running with the ability to deal with the full residential transaction. Exceptional communication and client skills are also essential as you will be expected to build rapport and relationships with established and new clients and act on your own initiative. You must also be able to conduct searches with minimal supervision.

Excellent opportunity for a residential property paralegal to gain hands on experience and work with more autonomy and responsibility in an established London law firm.
