Description
Residential Property Legal Assistant
Location: Wokingham
Salary: £25,000 -£30,000 (depending on experience and expertise)
We’re on the lookout for a full-time Legal Assistant to join a busy and growing Residential Conveyancing team in Reading. You’ll be working alongside experienced Solicitors and Licensed Conveyancers, supporting them on a varied caseload across all things property.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team with a competitive salary, brilliant benefits, and colleagues who don’t bite (unless you take the last biscuit in the tin).
About You
• At least 2 years’ experience in a similar legal role, with a good grasp of conveyancing processes and procedures.
• Bonus points if you’ve wrangled Tikit/Partner for Windows before (and lived to tell the tale).
• Excellent client care skills, a genuine enthusiasm for helping people, and organisational skills that would make Marie Kondo proud.
• Comfortable with modern IT systems, audio and copy typing, and diary management (because who doesn’t love a well-planned calendar?).
• Able to multi-task, prioritise like a pro, and keep cool under pressure.
• High attention to detail and complete confidentiality are an absolute must.
What You’ll Be Doing (a.k.a. Making Magic Happen):
• Handling a full range of admin tasks – from opening files and drafting contract packs, to dealing with exchanges, final searches, SDLT and AP1 submissions.
• Managing calls and providing updates to clients, estate agents, lenders and solicitors (yes, sometimes all in one afternoon).
• Keeping files compliant, responding to Land Registry requisitions, and even tackling some dictation along the way.
What’s In It For You?
• Competitive salary
• 25 days’ annual leave + Bank Holidays (plus the office closes between Christmas and New Year)
• Hybrid working options (role-dependent)
• Salary sacrifice pension scheme with 5% matching contribution
• Life assurance & Group Income Protection
• BUPA cashback plan & Private Medical Insurance
• Enhanced Family Friendly policies (because family matters)
• Employee Assistance Programme (including GP consultations)
• Funded professional subscriptions & support towards qualifications
• Employee referral scheme (yes, you get rewarded for knowing people)
• Volunteering programme & plenty of social events – from summer BBQs to the Christmas party
If you’re organised, client-focused, and looking to take the next step in your career with a team that works hard but has a laugh along the way, we’d love to hear from you.
