Residential Property Lawyer (1 PQE) Locations: Southampton and Hedge End, Hampshire Salary: £40,000 - £65,000 Full Time We're seeking a dedicated and experienced Residential Property Solicitor or Legal Executive with a minimum of 1 year post-qualification experience (PQE) to join our Clients team in Southampton and/or Hedge End. This role offers the opportunity to manage a diverse caseload, providing expert advice to clients on all aspects of residential conveyancing. The Firm A forward-thinking, client-focused law firm with over 60 years of experience in the South of England. They make law make senses, so clients don't have to Google "What does caveat emptor mean?" at 2 AM. Our Residential Property team helps individuals and families navigate the exciting (and sometimes terrifying) process of buying, selling, and remortgaging their homes. We believe in working hard, having fun, and ensuring our solicitors don't develop a permanent twitch from too many "urgent" emails. The Role Managing your own caseload of residential conveyancing matters, including: Freehold and leasehold transactions Re-mortgages (because everyone loves a better interest rate) Transfers of equity (family disputes not included) New builds (where the kitchen might still be a concept) Shared ownership (because half a house is better than none) Keeping clients updated without using the phrase "it depends" (too often). Liaising with estate agents, mortgage lenders, and other legal wizards. Ensuring all paperwork is accurate, because one wrong comma can be costly What Were Looking For (Apart from a Willingness to Tackle Complex Chains) ️ 1 years PQE in residential conveyancing. ️ The ability to explain legal jargon in a way that doesn't make clients panic. ️ A keen eye for detail because remortgage and repossession are not interchangeable. ️ A calm and patient nature (especially when dealing with that client who emails every hour). ️ Familiarity with case management systems (or at least a willingness to make friends with them). ️ A sense of humour because conveyancing can be intense, and laughter is free What's In It for You? Annual Leave: 25 days Bank Holidays Birthday Leave (because no one should work on their birthday). Bonus: Discretionary monthly performance bonus (yes, really). Health Benefits: SimplyHealth Membership. Pension: 4% matched contribution (future you will thank us). Perks: Employee Referral Scheme, discounted legal fees, life insurance, and a team that actually enjoys working together.
