Managing the end-to-end legal process of selling off-plan properties on behalf of their large-scale residential developer clients. Working closely together with the team to deliver outstanding client service.

Ideally you will be able to demonstrate: Strong academics - educated to degree level (at least 2:1) or equivalent. The ability to work in a fast-paced, high volume, deadline-driven environment.
