Residential Property Legal Secretary/Assistant  - AKA Chief Organiser

Location: North Hampshire (Where parking is a 5-minute stroll and lunch breaks come with a side of scenic charm)

Salary: Up to £35K

The Firm:
Our client is a well-oiled property machine, where paperwork meets professionalism, and occasionally, a cup of tea with a side of "let’s get this contract moving!" Their busy Winchester Property Department is looking for a superstar legal secretary/assistant to support the  Managing Director, (he’s in the office next door, so expect the occasional knock), and keep things running smoothly across the department.

The Role:
You’ll be the right-hand person for all things property-related: transfers, completions, Land Registry magic, opening and closing files, digital dictation and copy typing, client liaison, and more.  No fee-earning, no legal ladder climbing, just straight-up property perfection. You’ll have your own office four days a week, but don’t worry,  others are close by if you need some friendly banter. This position is replacing a long-time team member, so we’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running!

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience as a property legal assistant, paralegal, or legal executive (you know your way around a Land Registry like nobody’s business).
• Career Legal secretary/Assistant or Paralegal—you’re happy being the backbone of the operation.
• Skills that pay the bills: excellent attention to detail, top-notch communication, and proficiency in Microsoft Excel.
• You’ve got the digital dictation game on lock, and case management systems don’t scare you.
• A sunny disposition—positive, friendly, organised, and ready to meet deadlines with a smile (even when your handed one more SDLT return at 4:45 pm).

Your Superpowers Include:

• Preparing legal documents with the speed of a ninja and accuracy of a laser-guided missile.
• Making Land Registry applications, SDLT returns, and online searches without breaking a sweat.
• Opening and managing both paper and electronic files like an organisational wizard.
• Being a liaison extraordinaire—talking to clients, solicitors, estate agents, lenders, and possibly even that one eccentric client who insists on handwritten notes.

The Perks:

• A competitive salary to match your amazing skills.
• Parking within a 5-10 minute walk (enough time for a podcast or some peaceful reflection).
• Working in the heart of Winchester—train station and town centre just a 5-minute walk away.
• Joining a mature, professional office where everyone knows their stuff (and enjoys the occasional office cake).

Important Note:
If you’re a legal secretary, CILEX level 3, or a non-fee-earning paralegal who loves property law without the pressure to progress, this is the dream job for you.
