Plot Conveyancer (In-House)
Sheffield | £45,000 – £55,000 + Company Car or Car Allowance
Permanent | Full-time | In-house legal team
Elevation Recruitment Group is delighted to be working with a well-established and rapidly expanding residential developer to appoint an experienced Plot Conveyancer into their in-house legal team in Sheffield.
Why This Role, Why Now
This is a genuinely exciting time to join a business with real momentum. Our client has ambitious, funded growth plans and is targeting a doubling of plot completions by 2028 - creating a rare opportunity for a Plot Conveyancer to build a long-term career inside a legal team that is growing right alongside the business, rather than simply managing an existing pipeline.
You'll join a close-knit, in-house legal function that works hand-in-hand with sales, commercial, land and technical teams, with genuine autonomy over your own caseload and a benefits package that goes well beyond salary and bonus.
What's In It for You (plus much more!)
- £45,000 – £55,000 salary
- Company car or car allowance
- Clear, achievable bonus/commission opportunity linked to your role
- 6% employer pension contribution
- 27 days' holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to buy or sell up to 5 additional days
- An extra day off for your birthday every year, plus 3 additional days for milestone birthdays
- Market-leading healthcare and life assurance cover
- £600 annual wellbeing allowance, plus 24/7 access to a GP, mental health counselling and legal/financial guidance for you and your family
- Genuine flexibility around home/office working and working hours
- Summer Fridays - finish early throughout summer, on top of your holiday allowance
- Clear career progression, on-the-job coaching and skills development support as the business grows
- Free on-site parking and all the technology you need to do your job well
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.
The Role
As In-House Plot Conveyancer, you'll manage the day-to-day plot conveyancing on new build developments, coordinating with regional offices and internal teams to keep plot sales and part-exchange transactions moving smoothly, compliantly and to deadline. Responsibilities include:

- Ensuring all legal documentation - contracts, titles and searches - is accurate and complete.
- Conducting due diligence, including title checks, planning permissions and land covenants or restrictions.
- Making local land charges searches and other appropriate local authority enquiries.
- Carrying out purchaser due diligence, including Anti-Money Laundering checks and source-of-funds considerations.
- Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of conveyancing law and current home ownership schemes (e.g. Help to Buy, First Homes) and sales incentive schemes.
- Managing multiple transactions simultaneously, ensuring efficient, timely completions in line with company policy and compliance requirements.
- Working closely with the wider legal team, solicitors and other stakeholders to keep processes smooth and deadlines on track.
