Join Orwins as an Experienced Property Secretary
Become part of a busy, high-performing property team in Finchley.
We do law differently - less formal, more focused, and built around delivering an outstanding client experience. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and wants to play a key role in supporting a top-tier legal team.
Working across residential conveyancing, commercial property and secured lending, you will support a talented group of fee earners with the day-to-day coordination that keeps matters progressing smoothly. From client communication and document preparation to post-completion work and Land Registry submissions, you will be central to ensuring every transaction is handled efficiently, accurately and professionally.
What You Will Be Doing
- Provide full secretarial and administrative support to a busy property team working across residential conveyancing, commercial property and property finance matters.
- Prepare, format and amend legal documents, contracts, completion statements and correspondence with a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
- Manage Land Registry applications, SDLT submissions and post-completion formalities using systems such as Infotrack, ensuring all deadlines and compliance requirements are met.
- Open, organise and maintain client files, keeping records, documents and case management systems fully up to date throughout each transaction.
- Liaise confidently with clients, solicitors, lenders, estate agents and other third parties, helping to keep transactions moving and queries resolved promptly.
- Order searches, manage incoming documentation, monitor progress on live matters and proactively support fee earners with the smooth running of their caseloads.
- Help create a professional, efficient and reassuring experience for clients by ensuring communication is clear, timely and well organised from instruction to completion.
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 We Are Looking For
- Previous experience as a property or legal secretary.
- Confident knowledge of Land Registry processes and hands-on post completion experience.
- LEAP experience is a big plus.
- Organised, accurate, and someone who takes real pride in their work.
