4. Draft and review a range of rural property contracts, including farm business tenancy agreements and grazing licences.
5. Liaise with clients, including farmers, landowners, agents, surveyors, and local authorities, ensuring efficient transaction progress and deadline adherence.
6. Undertake due diligence, thoroughly reviewing Land Registry titles, rights of way, easements, and environmental restrictions for smooth and compliant transactions.
EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS REQUIRED
1. Qualified Solicitor or equivalent within residential and/or commercial property.
2. Ability to manage your own caseload of conveyancing transactions.
3. Prior experience working with agricultural property is ideal, or a strong interest in developing skills in this niche.
4. Strong academics and proficient IT skills, along with verbal and written communication skills.
BENEFITS
1. Flexible working arrangements – work from home and flexible hours; no set days required in the office, but attendance for client and team meetings is expected.
2. Bonus structure
3. 25 days + bank holidays + birthday off
4. A supportive environment for professional growth and development with high-quality work.
