Napthens' new Manchester office is looking for Residential Conveyancing Solicitors and Licensed Conveyancers to join our friendly, expert team.

Are you a conveyancing pro who thrives in a fast paced, people focused environment?

Do you love the buzz of progressing files, delighting clients, and making the complex feel simple?

If you're nodding - keep reading.

This is your chance to join a team where quality comes first, colleagues have your back, and great work is recognised.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll manage your own varied caseload from instruction to post completion, including:

  • Sales, purchases, remortgages, transfers of equity, new builds and shared ownership
  • Investigating title and preparing clear, accurate reports
  • Drafting contracts, TR1/TP1s, completion statements and other key documentation
  • Driving transactions forward proactively - keeping clients informed and agents happy
  • Managing exchange and completion with precision
  • Handling all post completion work including SDLT and Land Registry submissions.
Your Clients & Contacts Love You Because You
  • Communicate clearly, professionally and regularly
  • Build brilliant relationships with clients, agents, lenders and brokers
  • Keep everyone updated before they ever need to chase
  • Handle queries quickly and calmly, even when the pressure's on
  • You're the glue that keeps a transaction moving - and you enjoy being that person.
Compliance & Quality (Your Middle Name)

You take pride in:

  • Meeting AML, ID and source of funds requirements

  • Recording time accurately
  • Meeting monthly fee targets with confidence
  • Keeping write offs to a minimum
  • You understand the business of law - and the importance of profitability.
Business Development & Team Contribution

This role is more than pure file handling. You'll also:

  • Maintain warm relationships with referrers
  • Support BD initiatives and attend networking events
  • Help cross sell wider firm services
  • Support junior colleagues and share knowledge
  • Contribute to improving processes and best practice
  • We're a collaborative team - we want people who want to get involved.
What You'll Bring
  • Experience running your own residential conveyancing caseload
  • Strong drafting and title review skills
  • Excellent organisation and attention to detail

  • A supportive team that shares knowledge
  • Opportunities for real development and progression
  • A department that values high standards and work life balance
  • A busy caseload, appreciative clients, and a firm that invests in people
