Paralegal – Property Securitisation | Colchester | Hybrid | £26,226
Tier 1 team. £1m–£500m transactions. Affordable housing at the sharpest end. And you don't need conveyancing experience to get in the door.
We're working in partnership with a long-established, full-service law firm to find a Paralegal for their Property Securitisation team in Colchester.
Who you'd be joining
A City of London firm with more than 150 years behind it, now operating from London, Leeds, Birmingham and Colchester with around 350 people and a growing international reach. They act for major multi-nationals, charities, housing associations and Regulators alike, across Commercial/Corporate, Civil Litigation, Housing, Employment, Real Estate, Projects and Property Development.
The Securitisation team is ranked Tier 1 by both Chambers UK and Legal 500 and sits at the forefront of the affordable housing sector – work that funds real homes for real people.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'd actually be doing
Running your own caseload, supporting Partners and Solicitors on significant transactions from day one:
- Identifying titles and pulling Official Copy Entries and Office Copy Documents from the Land Registry
- Title checks and property due diligence
- Searches, and chasing Local Authorities and third parties for outstanding items
- Pre-completion Land Registry searches and post-completion work
- Progress reports to clients, Partners and Solicitors
- Helping drive the team's largest transactions over the line
It's a demanding role. You'll juggle competing priorities and you'll be trusted early.
What you'll need
- A 2:1 or above in Law, Politics, Economics or a Humanities-related subject
- Genuinely excellent attention to detail – this is the one that matters most
- Strong drafting, sound legal research, and the ability to explain things in plain English
- The organisation to run a heavy workload to tight deadlines with limited supervision
- Confidence with MS Word, Excel and Outlook
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Nice to have, but not a dealbreaker
- Property or conveyancing experience
- Studying CILEx, or LPC completed or underway part time
- Experience with a Document Management System
The details
- Salary: £26,226
- Location: Colchester, hybrid
- Process: One stage, in person at the Colchester office – no drawn-out rounds
If you're a sharp graduate looking for a first or second step with real responsibility, this is a strong one. The academics and the attention to detail are what count – the conveyancing knowledge can follow.
