Job Description

What you'll do

  • Review completed title and pre-exchange checklists on residential purchase (and related) matters, and sign them off where the work meets the required standard
  • Identify gaps, risks and issues on title, defective title, restrictive covenants, easements, boundary questions, leasehold concerns, and flag what needs resolving before sign-off
  • Act as a go-to point of reference for the case-handling team on title queries
  • Help us keep raising the quality and consistency of how title is reviewed across the firm

What we're looking for

  • A qualified conveyancer, Licensed Conveyancer (CLC), Solicitor (SRA) or Chartered Legal Executive (CILEX) with a residential conveyancing specialism — holding a current practising status
  • Strong, hands-on residential title experience across freehold, leasehold, new-build and (ideally) unregistered titles
  • Sound working knowledge of title investigation, Land Registry practice, SDLT and the Law Society Conveyancing Protocol
  • The confidence to make sign-off decisions independently — and to say clearly when something isn't right
  • Excellent people skills, a clear communicator, easy to work with, and happy to be a helpful, calming point of contact for the wider team
  • Accurate and efficient, comfortable working at pace without dropping quality
  • Committed to working within SRA / CLC regulatory standards

How it works

  • Self-employed / consultant basis — you invoice us for the work you do
  • £1,500 retainer covering 75 files (confirm period — e.g. monthly), including title checklist and pre-exchange checklist sign-off on each file
  • £20 per file above 75 — for each additional file you sign off beyond the retainer
  • Based at our Paddington office (Merchant Square, W2) (state any hybrid/remote flexibility, or confirm office-based)
