Property Lawyer - Peterborough City Council

Property Lawyer – Peterborough City Council

£49,764 – £53,895 + Excellent Benefits | Permanent | Hybrid (2 days in office)

Join a supportive, experienced team at the centre of Peterborough’s transformation. As a Property Lawyer, you’ll manage a broad commercial property caseload – supporting everything from land deals and leasing to major regeneration schemes like the Station Quarter.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Advising on acquisitions, disposals, and commercial lease negotiations
• Drafting leases, licences, option agreements and asset-related contracts
• Handling landlord and tenant matters, including rent reviews, lease renewals, and dilapidations
• Supporting regeneration and infrastructure projects with strategic legal input
• Advising on agricultural property transactions and academy leases (with support as needed)
• Collaborating with developers, agents, and internal teams on complex deals

Why This Role Stands Out

• Genuine Variety – Handle everything from estate management to cutting-edge regeneration
• Strategic Impact – Your work directly enables development, infrastructure, and local services
• Experienced Team – Join a stable, friendly team that values collaboration and knowledge sharing
• Growth Opportunity – Broaden your expertise across the full range of commercial property law
• Work-Life Balance – Hybrid model, no long hours, and a well-connected, supportive office

What We’re Looking For

• Qualified Solicitor, Barrister or CILEx Fellow
• Strong experience in commercial property transactions
• Confidence managing leases, landlord/tenant issues, and negotiations
• A clear communicator and team player who can manage multiple matters simultaneously
