Advise clients on complex residential property issues, including restrictive covenants, easements, adverse possession, rights of way, boundary issues, overage provisions, indemnity insurance, trusts of land, and lender requirements.
Provide technical support and guidance to colleagues across the Residential Property team, acting as a point of escalation for complex legal queries and difficult transactions and offer support and capacity during busy periods or periods of absence/annual leave.
Work collaboratively with Team Leaders and management to support quality assurance, consistency of legal advice, and continuous improvement within the department.
Ensure compliance with the SRA Standards and Regulations or CLC Code of Conduct, HM Land Registry requirements, UK Finance Mortgage Lenders' Handbook, AML legislation, and all relevant regulatory obligations.
Maintain responsibility for managing your own capacity while working towards agreed billing, completion, and service delivery targets.
Deliver an exceptional standard of client care through proactive communication, clear legal advice, and effective management of client expectations throughout the transaction.
Utilise the firm's Case Management System effectively to progress matters efficiently, maintain accurate records, and ensure compliance with internal procedures.
Liaise professionally with clients, estate agents, lenders, brokers, developers, surveyors, management companies, and other legal professionals to facilitate the timely progression of transactions.
Maintain accurate file management, audit trails, and documentation in accordance with regulatory requirements and internal quality standards.
Keep up to date with developments in residential property law, HM Land Registry practice, lender requirements, and regulatory guidance, sharing knowledge and best practice with colleagues where appropriate.
Support, mentor and develop junior fee earners, Legal Assistants and support staff through coaching, technical guidance and quality feedback.
Undertake additional duties as reasonably required by senior management in line with the needs of the business.

Excellent working knowledge of the SRA Standards and Regulations or CLC Code of Conduct, HM Land Registry requirements, UK Finance Mortgage Lenders' Handbook, and relevant legislation affecting residential conveyancing.
Experience dealing with complex lender requirements, title defects, indemnity insurance, and bespoke legal solutions.
Ability to analyse complex legal issues, exercise sound commercial judgement, and provide practical, risk-based advice.
Excellent drafting, negotiation and problem-solving skills.
Strong organisational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritise competing demands while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build confidence and credibility with clients, colleagues and external stakeholders.
