Dear Hiring Manager,

Residential conveyancing is the area of law I have built my career around, which is why the Conveyancer opportunity at your Norwich firm immediately stood out.

My background in residential conveyancing has seen me manage a caseload of over 55 active files at any one time, guiding clients from initial instruction through to post-completion. I have handled Help to Buy transactions, unregistered titles and complex leasehold matters, always prioritising clear client communication and accurate, timely file progression.

1Question

Tell me about a time you managed a particularly complex or high-pressure conveyancing file and how you kept it on track.

Situation: A new build leasehold purchase with a Help to Buy equity loan had a developer-imposed exchange deadline of 10 working days, while the lender's mortgage offer was due to expire the following week. Task: I needed to simultaneously satisfy the lender's requirements, coordinate with Homes England and review a 300-page lease pack. Action: I triaged the title report, raised targeted enquiries within 24 hours and called the lender's solicitor daily to expedite the offer extension. I also prepared the Help to Buy authority to proceed in parallel. Result: Contracts exchanged on day nine, the mortgage offer was extended by seven days, and the client completed on schedule with zero requisitions from Land Registry.
2Question

Describe a situation where a transaction nearly fell through — what did you do to resolve it?

Situation: Three days before completion on a freehold purchase, a bankruptcy search revealed a pending insolvency notice against the seller registered just 48 hours earlier. Task: I had to protect my client's position and decide whether the transaction could safely proceed. Action: I immediately notified the client and their mortgage lender, contacted the seller's solicitor for a sworn undertaking and sought a priority search extension from Land Registry. I also liaised with the insolvency practitioner to confirm the property was not an asset of the estate. Result: The insolvency notice was confirmed as a misfiled entry against a third party with the same name. The error was corrected within 24 hours and the transaction completed only one day late, with the client's funds fully protected throughout.
