Job Description

Residential Conveyancing Solicitor

St Albans, Hertfordshire | £45,000 - £55,000 | Hybrid (2 days WFH) | Full-Time & Permanent

We're recruiting on behalf of a genuinely brilliant independent law firm based in the heart of St Albans for a family-run practice with real personality. They operate across the UK and Spain, and they're on the lookout for an experienced Residential Conveyancing Solicitor who wants to do great work in a place that actually values them.

If you've spent years in a target-driven, hierarchical environment and found yourself wondering whether there's something better out there, there is. This is it.

The Role

You'll be managing a varied caseload of residential conveyancing transactions from instruction through to post-completion, with genuine autonomy and the support of a collaborative team around you. The work is interesting, the clients are valued and the environment is one where your ideas and contributions are genuinely welcomed.

Day to day you'll be:

Managing freehold and leasehold sales, purchases, re-mortgages and transfers of equity
Reviewing title documentation, searches, enquiries and mortgage offers
Drafting and approving contracts, transfer deeds and ancillary documentation
Handling exchange, completion and post-completion matters including SDLT and Land Registry
Advising clients throughout the process with a high standard of care and communication
Contributing to business development and referrer relationships
Mentoring and supporting junior members of the team where appropriate 

What We're Looking For

Qualified Licensed Conveyancer, Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive
Minimum 5 years' PQE in residential conveyancing
Ability to run a full caseload independently with confidence and minimal supervision
Strong knowledge of Land Registry requirements, lender instructions and SDLT procedures
Freehold and leasehold experience as standard
Excellent client care, communication and organisational skills 

Bonus points for experience with new build, shared ownership, Help to Buy or lease extensions, or familiarity with Leap case management software, but these aren't deal-breakers.

Why This Role? Why This Firm?

This isn't just another conveyancing job. Here's what makes this practice genuinely different:

Independent - decisions are made by people who care about the business and the team, not a faceless board

Progressive & open to ideas - they actively encourage input from across the team to drive the business forward

Non-corporate culture - clear targets exist, but without the suffocating hierarchy or relentless pressure that defines so many larger firms

Authentic leadership - the kind of refreshingly real, occasionally quirky management that makes you feel like you're working with people, not for them

Everyone has a voice - it's an open, honest environment where diverse perspectives are embraced and inclusion isn't just a policy, it's lived

UK & Spain practice - a genuinely unique proposition for clients and a point of real differentiation in the market

The Package

Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 depending on experience

Working Pattern: Hybrid - 2 days per week working from home

Location: St Albans, Hertfordshire

Holiday: 22 days + bank holidays

Friday Finish: Early close at 4:30pm every Friday
