Our Team The successful candidate will join Partner and Chartered Legal Executive, Helen Hutchison, in our Residential Property department. The department deals with all aspects of residential conveyancing which includes; sales, purchases, remortgages, transfer of equity and equity release, company buy to let, shared ownership and complex title transactions for clients nationally. The team do not pay referral fees for work and do not deal with volume conveyancing, meaning they can focus on a quality and advisory service.

Whilst you won't be expected to manage your own caseload, you will have the opportunity to support fee earners when and where necessary and will therefore need a good understanding of the law surrounding sales, purchases, remortgages and other associated matters for both freehold and leasehold properties.
