Real Estate Finance Paralegal

Real Estate Finance Paralegal | 6+ Months Experience | Manchester

A real estate finance team in Manchester is recruiting a paralegal to support a growing practice acting for lenders, borrowers and developers on secured lending and property finance transactions.

This is not an entry-level role. The team needs someone with at least six months of real estate paralegal experience who can hit the ground running and contribute meaningfully from day one.

For the right person, there is a potential pathway to a training contract within the firm, but the immediate focus is on finding someone who can handle the workload and demonstrate the technical ability and commercial awareness the team values.

The Work
Day-to-day work involves supporting real estate finance transactions: assisting on facility and security documentation, coordinating due diligence and title work, reviewing leases and construction documentation, managing Companies House and Land Registry filings, and liaising with lenders, borrowers and the commercial property team.

The client base includes financial institutions, alternative lenders, property developers and owner-managed businesses. The matters are sophisticated, often involving complex security structures, multi-party deals and tight deadlines.

The Platform
The team sits within a well-regarded Manchester firm with strong rankings in Legal 500 and Chambers. Real estate and banking are core practice areas, so the platform is solid and the work is consistent.

The culture is commercial, collaborative and communicative, with an emphasis on long-term client relationships. Because the firm is mid-sized and single-site in Manchester, paralegals get direct partner contact and visibility.

What You Need
At least six months of real estate paralegal experience, ideally with exposure to real estate finance, secured lending or commercial property transactions. Strong academics are essential. You should be organized, detail-focused, commercially aware and able to work under pressure.
