Legal Advisor

At Fidler & Pepper Lawyers, we're more than just a law firm-we're a supportive community. With four offices across Mansfield, we've built a culture where people enjoy their work, grow their careers, and feel valued.

We believe that when our people thrive, our clients receive the very best service. That's why we offer:

• Hybrid & flexible working options available
• 23 days' holiday plus bank holidays (plus more with service)
• Birthday afternoon off
• Wellbeing days, personal development workshops & career pathways
• Bonus scheme & competitive salary
• 35-hour working week (yep, less than most firms!)
• A collaborative, down-to-earth team
• Fun along the way with charity and annual Fun days

The Role

We're looking for a Legal Advisor to join our specialist New Build team.

This is an exciting opportunity to work within a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment focused on new build purchases. As part of our strong support network, you'll work closely with dedicated Executives who help keep everything running smoothly - giving you the time and space to focus on the legal detail and technical aspects of each transaction.

With this structure, performance and job satisfaction thrive - because you're able to do what you do best.

You'll Be:

• Managing a caseload of New Build residential property transactions, including freehold and leasehold purchases
• Reviewing and reporting on contract packs including title, plans, estate documentation, planning agreements, warranties and developer documentation
• Taking responsibility for reviewing development documentation at the outset and raising initial enquiries to ensure matters are addressed early in the transaction.
• Checking searches, mortgage offers and Help to Buy/other scheme documentation (where applicable)
• Reporting comprehensively to clients on new build contracts, longstop dates, completion on notice and developer deadlines
• Working proactively to meet tight exchange deadlines, often within 28-day timeframes
• Liaising regularly with developers, site sales teams, agents, mortgage lenders, brokers and Solicitors to ensure smooth progression
• Providing an outstanding client experience, ensuring buyers feel informed, reassured and confident - particularly where new build processes differ from standard conveyancing
• Using innovative Case Management systems effectively to manage workflow and maintain best practice
• Keeping up to date with legislation and industry developments affecting new build property and sharing knowledge within the team

What We're Looking For

We'd love to hear from you if you are a:

• Legal Advisor, Licensed Conveyancer, Paralegal or Solicitor with 2-3 years' residential conveyancing experience
• Ideally experienced in New Build transactions
• Confident working to tight exchange deadlines and managing a proactive caseload
• Excellent communicator with strong client care skills and a collaborative team approach
• Organised, detail-focused and able to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment

If you're looking to build or further develop your career in New Build conveyancing within a supportive, forward-thinking firm where you'll feel challenged and genuinely appreciated - we'd love to hear from you.
