Mortgage Recoveries Solicitor

Overview

Mortgage Recoveries Solicitor – NQ to 4 Years PQE

Location: Manchester (2 days per week in office)

Salary: Competitive, DOE

Role Type: Permanent, Full-time

Flexible Working: Hybrid – 2 days office-based, 3 days remote

I\’m working exclusively with a well-established and growing legal services provider in Manchester that specialises in mortgage recoveries and financial litigation. Due to expansion, they are now looking to recruit a Mortgage Recoveries Solicitor (NQ-4 PQE) to join their high-performing litigation team.

This is an ideal opportunity for a junior solicitor looking to specialise in mortgage possession work, title rectification, and complex recoveries, with exposure to a unique blend of volume litigation and technical defended claims.

The Role

You\\\’ll work on a caseload of mortgage litigation matters-ranging from standard possession claims to more complex and contested issues, including:

• Defended mortgage possession proceedings
• Title disputes, Land Registry applications, and rectification claims
• Challenges involving third-party interests
• Issues of undue influence, fraud, and regulatory challenges
• Enforcement, charging orders, and recovery strategies

You\\\’ll be part of a collaborative team where you\\\’ll receive excellent mentoring and access to robust internal systems. This isn\\\’t a high-street role-it\\\’s a commercially focused legal environment, working on behalf of major financial institutions and lenders, with a strong emphasis on compliance, data-led decision-making, and quality outcomes.

What They\\\’re Looking For

• Qualified Solicitor (England & Wales), ideally between NQ and 4 years PQE
• Previous experience in litigation – ideally mortgage, banking, or property disputes
• Strong drafting and analytical skills
• Commercial awareness and the ability to balance risk, cost, and client priorities
• Confident handling cases independently, or ready to take that next step
• Comfortable with volume-based case management systems
• A team player with a keen eye for regulatory detail and high standards of professionalism

Why Consider This Role

• Join a highly specialist team in an area of consistent demand and growth
• Hybrid model – just two days in the office, based in central Manchester
• Excellent development and progression opportunities within a regulated environment
• Exposure to blue-chip clients and complex litigation work
• Strong internal support, technology-driven systems, and manageable caseloads
• A positive, forward-thinking culture that values quality over quantity

This firm has built a reputation for doing things differently-balancing technical litigation with efficient legal operations, offering junior lawyers a great platform to build their expertise in financial services litigation.
