Join a Growing Property Law Team in Coastal Cornwall

A respected and well-established boutique law firm in Newquay is actively hiring a Residential Property Solicitor or Legal Executive to strengthen its busy conveyancing department. Whether you're looking for a full-time position or reduced hours, this is a rare chance to join a close-knit team with a strong local presence and a steady pipeline of high-quality work

Why This Residential Conveyancing Role Stands Out

• Genuine work-life balance – hybrid working available up to 2 days a week
• No business development required – take over a ready-made, established caseload
• A stable and supportive environment where you can thrive professionally
• Long-standing client relationships and a strong reputation in the Cornish legal market
• Excellent base salary plus quarterly performance bonuses
• Work from a modern office in Newquay, just minutes from the Cornish coast

Your Key Responsibilities

You’ll independently manage a broad range of residential conveyancing matters, including:

• Freehold and leasehold sales and purchases
• Re-mortgages, transfer of equity, and equity release
• Lease extensions, shared ownership, and tenancy agreements
• Liaising with estate agents, brokers and clients to ensure seamless transactions
• Providing tailored legal advice to a diverse client base, including first-time buyers, families and investors

Who We're Looking For

• A qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive (CILEx)
• Minimum of 6 months’ residential property experience
• Able to run a caseload autonomously with strong attention to detail
• Proactive, approachable, and committed to excellent client service
• Candidates already in Cornwall or considering relocation are welcome

What’s On Offer

• Competitive salary reviewed annually + bespoke bonus structure
• Flexible working patterns – full-time or part-time considered
• Hybrid working – up to 2 days from home per week
• 25+ days holiday plus bank holidays
• Supportive and low-turnover team focused on collaboration, not targets

How to Apply

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a respected property team in a firm that genuinely prioritises work-life balance.
