• Preparing facility and security documentation packs

• Managing conditions precedent checklists and completion logistics

• Ordering searches and handling Land Registry filings and post-completion registration

• Liaising with lender clients, borrowers' solicitors and other parties

About You

• Legal assistant or legal administration experience, ideally in property, conveyancing or finance

• Meticulous with documents and checklists, because in lending the detail is the job

• Organised, dependable and professional with institutional clients

• Keen to build a specialism in banking and property finance support

Why Consider It

• A defined specialism that makes your CV stand out against general legal admin experience

• Institutional lender clients and structured, professional processes
