* Transaction coordination: Liaise with clients, lenders, estate agents, and other solicitors to ensure smooth progress of each transaction.
* Completion preparation: Prepare transfer documents, obtain redemption figures, and ready files for completion once contracts are exchanged.
* System and client updates: Keep the company’s case management system and portal updated, ensuring accurate and timely progress reporting.
