If successful, you can expect a mix of work acting for buyers and sellers in relation to purchases and sales of freehold and leasehold property.

Your responsibilities might include but not be limited to:

Reviewing, drafting and amending contracts, deeds, letters and reports
Completing search submissions and land registry formalities, researching titles and handling subsequent queries
Managing exchange, completion and postcompletion matters
Advising on financial management matters such as mortgage redemption, transfer of equity and remortgage processes
Handling residential tenancy and licence matters
Providing advice on residential property transactions for new developments
Secured lending work

We can provide you with an excellent platform to develop both your technical ability and business development skills within a supportive and thriving team.

Whilst you will be part of a large real estate team which spans our other offices (especially Oxford, Reading, Southampton and Cardiff), you will be working exclusively in the real estate team in our Oxford office.

You will likely soon develop close client relationships that will endure through your career.

Our encouragement of a decent work/life balance and complementary interests will help you towards a strong long-term profile in this region.

Blake Morgan is committed to adopting Smart Working practices, where appropriate in the context of business needs, and empowering colleagues to maximise their performance.

Whilst we strive to ensure consistency of approach across the firm, there will inevitably be some differences in working practices across our business groups and business support functions.

We consider each colleague's personal preferences, working styles and development needs when deciding the best arrangements to suit our clients and colleagues.

A typical approach would be a blend of working in your usual office, working from another Blake Morgan office, working from a client's office and working from home.

A Guide to getting the most out of Smart Working Policy is available for our colleagues.

You will be a core part of the team and able to access the technology, support, training and resources you require.

Our lawyer teams are also well supported by our Business Services, Finance, HR, IT and Risk functions.
