About the role
About the Role
We are looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Real Estate Finance Solicitor (1–2 years PQE) to join our growing Real Estate Finance team. This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor with previous experience in property finance who is looking to develop their career in a fast-paced and supportive environment.
The successful candidate will have experience advising on a range of real estate finance transactions and will be confident managing their own caseload while working collaboratively with colleagues across the firm.
Key Responsibilities
- Advising lenders and borrowers on a variety of real estate finance transactions.
- Managing bridging finance and buy-to-let (BTL) transactions from instruction through to completion.
- Reviewing and negotiating loan documentation and security documents.
- Reporting on title and identifying legal risks.
- Liaising with clients, mortgage brokers, valuers and other professional advisers throughout the transaction.

- Experience acting for both lenders and borrowers.
- Experience of bridging finance transactions.

The successful candidate will be someone who:
- Communicates clearly and professionally with clients, colleagues and external parties.
- Builds strong relationships with mortgage brokers, introducers and other professionals involved in transactions.
- Keeps all parties regularly updated, ensuring transactions progress smoothly.
- Works collaboratively as part of a team and is always willing to support colleagues.
