1Question

Describe a time when you had to manage multiple urgent files simultaneously

During a particularly busy period, I had 8 files all requiring completion within the same week. I created a priority matrix based on completion dates and potential chain implications. I scheduled daily check-ins with each client, prepared all completion packs 48 hours in advance, and coordinated with the accounts team to ensure funds were ready. I also delegated routine searches to junior staff while personally handling the complex leasehold enquiries. All 8 completions occurred on schedule, with clients praising the smooth process and regular communication throughout.
2Question

Tell me about a challenging conveyancing case and how you resolved it

I was handling a leasehold purchase where the search results revealed an unregistered restrictive covenant affecting the property's use. The mortgage lender initially refused to proceed without resolution. I researched the covenant's history, contacted the original developer's successor company, and negotiated a deed of release for £800. I also arranged indemnity insurance as backup protection. The process took 3 weeks longer than standard, but I kept all parties informed with bi-weekly updates. The transaction completed successfully, and the client was grateful for my proactive approach to resolving the complex legal issue.
