Job Type: Full-time, Permanent

Salary: DOE + Company Bonus

Start Date: TBC

Seniority Fit: Experienced fee-earner looking for more fulfilling work, reasonable case load and future progression opportunities.

The Role in Brief: Experienced Residential Conveyancer owning your own caseload from instruction to completion. Outside of this, you’ll support the firm in growing its client base via the promotion and delivery of excellent service. There will be opportunity to be involved with business development.

The Company: The leading firm in the East Lancs area (Pendle Large Business of the Year 2025), rapidly growing and strategically hiring ahead to fuel this. Recently opened 3 more offices, 1 in North Manchester and 2 in West Yorkshire!

Full Description

Most firms just want you to bill. We want you to grow and have time to care for your clients.

If you believe client satisfaction and your own personal fulfilment should come ahead of relentless billable hours and wake up dreading another addition to your caseload… We’re on the same page.

Farnworth Rose are looking for an experienced Residential Conveyancer to join the team in our Nelson office. We do not just want a fee earner; we want a professional who values autonomy, technical excellence and helping drive a supportive culture.

Fewer Interruptions

We know what burns Conveyancers out -constant interruptions and the stress of having to go it alone- so we’ve built a structure to fix that. This includes,

• Protected time to focus: We have a dedicated team answering the phones and sitting on reception so proper focus can happen. You get the space to work properly and not be your own secretary.

• Confidence and safety: You will have clear responsibility and control over your work, supported by strong processes and an open‑door culture that ensures the team is always available to help. You’ll have the freedom to manage your tasks independently, while still feeling fully supported.

Real Career Mobility

We don’t believe in dead ends. We have a proven internal talent stream and ambitious growth targets as a business - this means that we plan to grow quickly and need our team to grow with us.

Growth for you as an individual doesn’t have to mean taking on more responsibilities or workload, it can be developing further skills or helping to develop colleagues.

Whether you want to advance in Residential Property or pivot into another area, cross-departmental growth is encouraged at Farnworth Rose.
