This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate with previous post-completions experience who thrives working independently, maintaining organisation, and ensuring the smooth conclusion of property transactions.

The Role

• Promptly distribute completed registration documents to clients and mortgage lenders.
• Arrange and administer indemnity insurance policies as necessary.
• Ensure completion balances and outstanding post-completion matters are resolved efficiently.
• Close and archive files once all post-completion requirements are fulfilled.

About You

We welcome applications from individuals who:

• Have prior experience in a post-completions role within a residential conveyancing team.
• Possess a comprehensive understanding of the post-completion process, including SDLT submissions and Land Registry registrations.
• Are organised, methodical, and confident in managing their own workload.
• Demonstrate strong attention to detail and the ability to meet deadlines effectively.
• Can work independently while recognising when to seek guidance on complex matters.
• Have excellent communication skills and enjoy contributing to a collaborative team environment.

What’s on Offer?

• 24 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays.
• An additional two days’ leave over the Christmas period.
• The option to purchase up to three additional days’ annual leave.
• Participation in an 8% pension scheme (4% employee and 4% employer contributions).
• Life assurance cover equivalent to four times your annual salary.
• Health cash plan covering everyday healthcare expenses, including dental, optical, and prescriptions.
