Landed Estates and Property Lawyer, Chester

This is genuinely one of the most exciting property roles we've been instructed on, based out of Chester.

We are working with a highly-regarded national law firm currently looking to appoint an ambitious property solicitor to join its specialist team.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain exposure to high-value and complex property transactions, working closely with an experienced Partner and junior members of the team on a significant national rural estate portfolio. The nature of the work is quite confidential and would therefore require some office based working. This exciting opportunity also brings with it significant long term benefits as the partner would like to eventually hand over the reigns to someone who can handle this work and client, the envy of City firms.


The Opportunity is to:

· Assist with and manage property transactions from instruction through to completion
· Prepare and review contract documentation and supporting paperwork
· Undertake title investigations and report on title and transaction information
· Deal with Land Registry applications and registrations
· Liaise with clients, solicitors, agents and other third parties to progress transactions efficiently
· Develop your knowledge across a broad range of property and conveyancing matters
· Work closely with an experienced Partner and benefit from hands-on training and support
· Take increasing responsibility for your own caseload as your experience develops


The ideal candidate will be a recently (NQ-4 yrs) qualified Solicitor with experience in conveyancing or commercial property.

You will ideally have:

· A strong grounding in residential conveyancing and/or commercial property
· Good knowledge of the conveyancing process
· Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
· Strong communication and client management skills
· A proactive and commercially minded approach
· The ability to work effectively as part of a small, specialist team
· Ambition to develop your career within a quality-focused Property practice

Why Apply?

· Join a well-regarded Property team in Chester
· Gain exposure to high-value property transactions, including rural estate disposals
· Work closely with an experienced Partner and benefit from strong support and development
· Handle quality work with transaction values regularly exceeding £1 million
· Develop your technical expertise and take on increasing responsibility
· Supportive and collaborative working environment
· Hybrid working available following the initial probationary period
· Competitive salary and benefits package

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Property Solicitor looking to build their career within a specialist team and gain exposure to high-quality, complex property work from an early stage.
