Residential Property Solicitor

Residential Property Solicitor | 5+ | Norwich

A well-established regional firm is looking to appoint an experienced Residential Property Solicitor to its Norwich team. This is a key hire for a department known for technical accuracy, clear communication and a personable, grounded approach to residential conveyancing, qualities that have earned it long-standing loyalty from clients, agents and referrers across the region.

What You'll Be Doing

Purchases, sales and refinancing

Handling freehold and leasehold transactions from instruction through to completion, including high-value and technically involved properties requiring careful structuring, clear communication and strong judgement.

High-value and complex matters

Acting for high-net-worth individuals and investors on premium properties, unusual titles, multi-party chains, listed homes and matters requiring proactive problem-solving and close agent engagement.

Market-facing relationships

Building strong, day-to-day relationships with local estate agents, search providers, surveyors and property finders. The team is highly regarded locally, so relationship-building tends to feel natural rather than forced.

Supporting the wider practice

Picking up mainstream conveyancing where needed to support the group's overall workflow, ensuring consistent service levels across the wider team.

Supervision and technical support

Providing guidance, oversight and quality assurance for junior team members when required, helping them develop and ensuring the team continues to operate at a high standard.

You'll work closely with an experienced Team Leader who is highly involved in the strategy and ongoing development of the Norwich offering, giving you regular access to support, insight and shared thinking on more complex matters.

About You

You'll be a Solicitor, Legal Executive or Licensed Conveyancer with a minimum of five years' experience in residential property and a track record of handling high-value or technically involved transactions.

You'll be comfortable balancing independence with collaboration, managing your own files confidently while appreciating the benefit of working closely with a team that shares knowledge and supports each other daily.

Strong communication, attention to detail and a steady, client-centred approach are essential. Experience supervising or mentoring junior colleagues is helpful but not essential.

What's on Offer

This is a team built around personal service rather than volume. You'll have time to work cases properly, speak to clients directly and build relationships with agents who value speed, clarity and pragmatism.

You'll inherit a healthy, manageable caseload with room to grow, supported by:

• A collaborative team culture where people share expertise, step in for each other and work closely day-to-day

• Opportunities to take on more complex transactions as your confidence builds

• Clear progression pathways within a large, multi-office firm

• Strong investment in personal development and steady exposure to work that will broaden your skillset

The firm offers a flexible, modern working environment with benefits including private healthcare, enhanced family leave, profit share, pension contributions, gym partnerships, electric car schemes and hybrid working.

The Firm

This is a long-standing regional firm with deep roots across multiple counties and a strong reputation for residential real estate. Its residential property team is known for being thorough, approachable and commercially aware, with a focus on clear communication and consistent service.
