At Burgh Thorpe Solicitors, we have built a supportive, flexible, and ambitious working environment where people are encouraged to grow and develop long-term careers within the legal sector.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced conveyancing professional to join a modern and growing firm, with genuine progression opportunities for the right candidate.

The Role

You will be supporting a conveyancer (or conveyancing solicitor) by handling the administrative, procedural, and transaction-management tasks that keep a property file moving smoothly from instruction through to completion.

Updating the case management system with accurate notes, tasks, and deadlines
Preparing contract packs and supporting documentation for review by the conveyancer
Drafting standard documents under supervision
Assisting with exchange and completion preparations (including funds requests and file checks)
Submitting SDLT returns and supporting Land Registry applications post-completion
Handling routine post-completion tasks (registration updates, title documents, requisitions)
Ensuring compliance requirements are met and escalating legal issues or risks to the conveyancer promptly

About You

The ideal candidate will have:

Previous experience in conveyancing (essential)
Excellent attention to detail and organisational skills
The ability to follow structured processes consistently and accurately
Strong written and verbal communication skills
A proactive attitude and the ability to manage a high-volume workload
Confidence using digital systems and technology

A genuine focus on work-life balance
Flexible and supportive working practices
Clear progression and development opportunities
