Job description
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
Salary up to £40,000 DOE
Opportunity to specialise in a thriving niche within residential property
Supportive team culture within a rapidly growing division
Career development prospects and exposure to major UK housebuilders
