- Prepare and check standard documentation such as client engagement letters, contract packs, transfers, SDLT returns, completion statements and routine correspondence in line with firm precedents and instructions.
- Carry out client identity checks and assist with anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, maintaining accurate, audit-ready case files and robust audit trails in accordance with firm procedures.
- Maintain and update electronic case files, recording clear case notes, milestones and actions to support fee earners and enable effective file reviews.
- Liaise professionally with clients, estate agents, mortgage lenders, surveyors, HM Land Registry, local authorities and other third parties to obtain documentation, chase outstanding items and manage expectations.
- Prepare and check completion figures, manage disbursement requests and assist with client account transactions, supporting billing and fee recovery processes as required.
- Respond to routine client and third-party enquiries by telephone and email, escalating complex issues to fee earners in a timely manner and keeping clients updated on progress.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to streamline processes, update precedents and support the rollout of conveyancing technology and workflow enhancements.
- Provide guidance and support to more junior colleagues where required, sharing knowledge of procedures and assisting with induction and training activities.
