Conveyancer

Position: Conveyancer (Fee Earner/CILEX/FCILEX/Solicitor)

Location: Somerset

Salary: £35,000+



What?

A well-established and highly respected Legal 500 firm based in Somerset is seeking to recruit a skilled conveyancer to join their experienced residential property team. Known for their exceptional service in selling, buying, and renting homes, the firm has earned a reputation as one of the leading residential property departments in the region. They serve clients nationwide, consistently delivering an efficient and expert service.



The firm prides itself on providing a personal, professional approach rather than relying on estate agents or other introducers for business. Their team is known for delivering fast, thorough, and expert services, going beyond the typical “conveyancing factory” approach. Clients can expect to be guided through the entire process of buying or selling a home, with regular updates and clear communication to ensure smooth transactions.



The firm was one of the first in the country to be awarded the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme accreditation, though they place the greatest value on ensuring client satisfaction. Their residential property team offers a wide range of services for homeowners, landowners, sellers, purchasers, landlords, and tenants. This includes services such as residential sales and purchases, remortgages, shared ownership schemes, equity release, leasehold extensions, and enfranchisement, as well as handling more complex issues like tenancies, easements, and boundary disputes.



The department is led by a highly experienced partner, who supervises the team.



Why?

The firm offers clear opportunities for progression, with many team members having advanced through the ranks, including those who started as legal secretaries or worked their way up after completing training contracts. The firm also provides training and development options, including CLC courses and the CILEX route, supporting professionals in their career growth.



The firm offers competitive salaries and an opportunity to work in a supportive, dynamic environment with ongoing professional development.



As for benefits, the firm stands out with two pay-outs each year, alongside discretionary bonuses. Employees enjoy 27 days of holiday, a Christmas shutdown, and a Christmas bonus. Additionally, the firm offers an Employee Assistance Programme, a cash plan, and an employee referral scheme. Socials are fully funded, including a free bar, fostering a strong team culture. The firm also provides enhanced maternity and paternity pay and leave, reflecting their commitment to supporting employees' personal lives alongside their professional careers.
