*Refinancing and secured lending transactions
*General commercial property advice
*Liaising with clients, agents, lenders and third parties to progress matters efficiently

The work is varied, well organised and supported by an experienced team, allowing you to hit the ground running from day one.

*A proven ability to manage a commercial property caseload independently
*The confidence to step into an existing caseload with minimal supervision
*Excellent client care and communication skills
*Availability between 14th September and 25th September 2026
*Flexibility to work either full-time or three days per week
Why This Opportunity?
