After agreeing a successful Exchange, the case is then handed back to our support teams, this time a Post Exchange team and then a Post Completion team.

To uphold our greatest core value of Integrity, to ensure we always do things the proper way, do not cut corners and always seeking to protect our client’s best interests.  Be on the look-out for potential fraud or money laundering activities, and be brave enough to raise any concerns of a lack of integrity.

PERSONAL SPECIFICATION

• Outstanding conveyancer – we want to see someone with a proven track record of carrying a full/mixed caseload
• Kind, open, honest and approachable – our #1 specification
• Trustworthy – it works both ways and we need to rely on you as much as you rely on us
• Multi-tasker – managing every client as if they were the only one
• IT savvy – we like our technology and it is important you know how to get the most out of it (training is always on hand)
• Hard worker – this isn’t 9-5. We give you full flexibility and agility to work how you like, so that you can meet client needs when required
• Team player – transactional law is such an individual’s role, but engagement/enjoyment is all about the people in your team
• Good communication and willingness to share – no technical jargon, no hierarchy, no question too stupid – just supporting each other to get a little bit better each day
