A well-established regional law firm is looking for an experienced conveyancing professional to take on a senior role within its Secured Lending team.
This is a role for someone who's comfortable holding both a fee-earning caseload and a supervisory brief at the same time, and who can make confident, well-reasoned decisions on risk.
The Role
You'll manage your own portfolio of secured lending matters, including company borrower transactions, with a focus on the more technically demanding work: transfers of part, lease extensions, grants of lease, transfers of equity and similar.
Alongside this, you'll act as a technical lead for the wider team, mentoring junior members of the team and working collaboratively with the Head of Department.
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'll be doing
- Reviewing titles and supporting documentation against lender requirements and internal checklists
- Confirming compliance with mortgage conditions and specific lender instructions
- Requesting redemption figures and non-crystallisation confirmations from existing lenders
- Preparing accurate completion statements and managing file finances
- Drafting property-related legal documents and client/third-party correspondence
- Handling Land Registry and Companies House submissions
- Carrying out client due diligence and AML checks in line with firm policy
- Reviewing junior colleagues' files and providing COT sign-off, feedback and coaching
- Flagging material risks or recurring issues to senior management
- Liaising directly with borrowers, brokers and other parties to keep transactions moving
- Contributing to process and risk-improvement discussions within the team
