Job Description

Conveyancing Executive Cheltenham

Non-Fee-Earning Role Residential Property Real Estate Finance

TSR Legal are working in partnership with a leading Top 50 regional law firm in Cheltenham to recruit an experienced Conveyancing Executive to join its expanding Real Estate Finance team.

This is a genuinely rare opportunity for a conveyancer seeking high-quality property work without the pressure of billing targets or managing a high-volume personal caseload. The role offers exposure to complex and varied real estate finance transactions within one of the firm's fastest-growing departments.

The Opportunity

The Real Estate Finance team advises on a broad range of property transactions including acquisitions, sales, refinancing, and development finance matters. The team acts for a diverse client base including high street banks, challenger lenders, bridging finance providers, developers, and private investors.

As a Conveyancing Executive, you will play a key supporting role across transactions, handling technical legal work and ensuring matters progress efficiently from instruction through to completion.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing files and progressing matters with minimal supervision
  • Handling file opening, administration, compliance, and billing processes
  • Raising and responding to enquiries, drafting further enquiries, and reviewing replies
  • Drafting and negotiating legal documents using precedents and templates
  • Preparing contract reports, exchange documentation, completion statements, and post-completion matters
  • Supporting and mentoring junior team members
  • Maintaining proactive communication with clients, lenders, and agents
  • Undertaking legal research and delivering accurate, timely findings
  • Assisting with marketing initiatives and business development activities
  • Ensuring compliance with risk management procedures and GDPR requirements

About You

Applications are welcomed from candidates with:

  • Experience in residential or commercial conveyancing
  • Exposure to real estate finance matters (highly desirable)
  • Strong drafting skills and sound technical ability
  • Commercial awareness and attention to detail
  • Previous supervisory or mentoring experience
  • The ability to manage competing priorities independently and proactively
  • Excellent organisational and client communication skills

Why This Role Stands Out

Non-fee-earning conveyancing positions are exceptionally uncommon in the current market. This role offers the chance to focus on technically strong, high-value property work within a collaborative environment - without the demands of individual billing targets or volume-driven caseloads.

It is particularly well suited to an ambitious conveyancer looking to deepen their expertise in real estate finance while enjoying a more balanced and quality-focused role.

Benefits

  • Competitive pension scheme
  • Staff bonus scheme
  • Electric vehicle scheme
  • 28 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Life assurance and healthcare cash plan
