Residential Property Legal Secretary

Residential Property Legal Assistant | Devon | Full-Time, Office-Based | Competitive Salary

A well-established and growing law firm in Devon is looking to recruit a Residential Property Legal Assistant to join its busy and expanding property team. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated and detail-oriented individual to support a high-performing department within a modern and forward-thinking firm.

Based in Devon, the role will involve providing essential administrative and clerical support to fee earners, helping to ensure the smooth progression of residential conveyancing matters. You will play a key role in supporting transactions from instruction through to completion, working closely with solicitors, clients, and third parties.

Responsibilities will include preparing legal documentation, raising searches, assisting with completion processes, and liaising with a range of stakeholders such as clients, estate agents, lenders, and other solicitors. You will also be responsible for maintaining accurate records using the firm’s case management system and assisting with general administrative tasks to support the wider team.

The firm is seeking someone who is highly organised, proactive, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities. Strong communication skills and confidence in dealing with clients are essential, along with the ability to quickly pick up new systems and processes.

Previous experience within an office or legal environment would be advantageous, particularly within residential conveyancing, although this is not essential. The firm is open to candidates with the right attitude and transferable skills who are keen to build a career within the legal sector.

In return, the firm offers a competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package, including generous annual leave, additional time off over the Christmas period, private health cover, wellness initiatives, and regular social events. There are also clear opportunities for progression depending on experience and performance.

The firm prides itself on fostering a supportive, inclusive, and collaborative working environment where employees are encouraged to develop and succeed.
