Paralegal – Property Securitisation | Colchester | Hybrid | £26,226
Tier 1 team. £1m–£500m transactions. Affordable housing at the sharpest end. And you don't need conveyancing experience to get in the door.
We're working in partnership with a long-established, full-service law firm to find a Paralegal for their Property Securitisation team in Colchester.
Who you'd be joining
A City of London firm with more than 150 years behind it, now operating from London, Leeds, Birmingham and Colchester with around 350 people and a growing international reach. They act for major multi-nationals, charities, housing associations and Regulators alike, across Commercial/Corporate, Civil Litigation, Housing, Employment, Real Estate, Projects and Property Development.
The Securitisation team is ranked Tier 1 by both Chambers UK and Legal 500 and sits at the forefront of the affordable housing sector – work that funds real homes for real people.
What you'd actually be doing
Running your own caseload, supporting Partners and Solicitors on significant transactions from day one:
- Identifying titles and pulling Official Copy Entries and Office Copy Documents from the Land Registry
- Title checks and property due diligence
- Searches, and chasing Local Authorities and third parties for outstanding items
- Pre-completion Land Registry searches and post-completion work
- Progress reports to clients, Partners and Solicitors
- Helping drive the team's largest transactions over the line
It's a demanding role. You'll juggle competing priorities and you'll be trusted early.
What you'll need
- A 2:1 or above in Law, Politics, Economics or a Humanities-related subject
- Genuinely excellent attention to detail – this is the one that matters most
- Strong drafting, sound legal research, and the ability to explain things in plain English
- The organisation to run a heavy workload to tight deadlines with limited supervision
- Confidence with MS Word, Excel and Outlook
Nice to have, but not a dealbreaker
- Property or conveyancing experience
- Studying CILEx, or LPC completed or underway part time
- Experience with a Document Management System
The details
- Salary: £26,226
- Location: Colchester, hybrid
- Process: One stage, in person at the Colchester office – no drawn-out rounds
If you're a sharp graduate looking for a first or second step with real responsibility, this is a strong one. The academics and the attention to detail are what count – the conveyancing knowledge can follow.
