Job Description

We're looking for a Property Lawyer / Conveyancer

Buying a home shouldn't be complicated, stressful, or slow. At Habito, our mission is to make homeownership easier and that means not just helping people secure their mortgage, but supporting them all the way through conveyancing. That's why we launched our in-house conveyancing firm, fully regulated by the CLC, to work hand in hand with our brokerage.

We're looking for an experienced residential conveyancer with five years preferred PQE to help deliver and grow this service to the highest standard. Our focus on technology and team structure helps streamline the conveyancing process, enabling fee earners to do their best work and keep clients and third parties updated throughout the transaction.

We're a remote-first, collaborative team, united by the belief that homebuying can and should be better. The role demands adaptability, sharp technical skills, and the ability to stay calm and effective under pressure.

You'll never need to source your own clients. Leads flow directly from Habito's brokerage and services, freeing you to focus on delivering excellent legal work and keeping clients and third parties fully supported throughout their transaction.

If you're looking for a role where you can combine your conveyancing expertise with teamwork, resilience, and a drive to raise standards, you'll thrive here.

More about what you'll do:

? Handling the sales and purchases of freehold and leasehold properties, with experience in re-mortgages, new-build developments, and Help to Buy schemes.
? Proven experience of acting for lenders as well as your own clients is essential.
? You will manage your own caseload independently and provide insightful feedback to our technical teams on how our systems can better support efficient, high quality work.
? Commercial property experience is a plus but not required.
? You'll apply your expert technical knowledge and strong communication skills to deliver results as part of a collaborative, high-performing team, often working to ambitious deadlines.
? You thrive in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment, enjoy challenging traditional ways of working, and actively contribute to improving the customer experience.

More about you:

? English law qualified solicitor or licensed conveyancer with residential property experience.
? Organised, adaptable, proactive and able to manage multiple cases and systems under pressure.
? Detail oriented with strong accountability and compliance focus.
? Client focused, able to explain complex processes clearly and empathetically.
? Problem solver who enjoys improving workflows and keeping cases moving.
? Thrives in a team first, remote environment, supporting colleagues and contributing to a positive culture.
? Keen to learn and grow as the business evolves.
? Comfortable with Hoowla for case management and Slack for team communication (preferred but not essential)

The benefits

? Discretionary bonus (company performance dependent)
? Remote-first working
? Flexible holiday - 25 days holiday and more if you need it! (this is team dependent)
? Enhanced maternity & paternity leave - for when you plan to start a family
? Life assurance - 4 x your annual salary
? Career progression - we help you build your career
? Contributory pension scheme - We have an ethical pension fund, but you can decide where you put your money
? International remote working for up to 20 days a year
? Volunteering - 2 days paid volunteering each year for charity of your choice
? Sick pay - up to 5 days sick covered each year
