Residential Property Senior Associate

Residential Property Senior Associate | 5+ PQE | Farnborough

This is an opportunity to step into a senior role within an award-winning residential property team, where you will combine hands-on fee earning with real influence over how work is delivered and relationships are managed. You will be supported by one of the largest and best-resourced property platforms in the South East, with the autonomy and trust expected at Senior Associate level.

The Role

You will operate as a senior member of a highly regarded conveyancing team, managing a high-quality residential caseload while acting as a point of reference for colleagues and clients.

Your work will span complex freehold and leasehold sales and purchases, high-value transactions, re-mortgages, transfers of equity and lease extensions, alongside new build, shared ownership and Help to Buy matters where appropriate. You will oversee files from instruction through to completion, setting the tone for client service and matter management.

Alongside your own caseload, you will play a visible role within the team, supporting and informally mentoring junior fee earners, contributing to workflow and helping maintain strong relationships with local agents, lenders and referrers. Where issues arise, you will work closely with colleagues across real estate, disputes and rural teams to deliver joined-up, commercial solutions.
