Real Estate Solicitor 3 years + PQE
  • Location: York & North Yorkshire
  • Type: permanent
  • Job Reference: 5074
  • Salary: £60,000 +
Senior Real Estate Solicitor 3 years + PQE | Harrogate (Hybrid)
Build Something of Your Own, With Support Behind You
Are you a seasoned real estate solicitor who’s ready to step out of the shadows of a large firm and take full ownership of your work — without the politics or pressure?
This is your chance to join a long-established, well-regarded law firm in Harrogate that’s looking to bring its Real Estate offering in-house after many successful years working with a consultant. The firm has been a trusted presence in the region for over 30 years, with a steady pipeline of quality work and longstanding client relationships.
Now, they’re ready to make this a permanent and strategic part of the business — and you could be the one to lead it.

What You’ll Be Doing
  • Acting on commercial sales and purchases, LLT transactions, and other general commercial property matters
  • Working independently, with full support from the wider team and operational structure
  • Continuing the excellent client service built over decades — and having the freedom to grow the offering as you see fit
  • Helping shape the firm’s real estate future, your way

Why This Role?
  • Autonomy & Ownership – You’ll be the firm’s go-to real estate expert, trusted to lead and deliver
  • Work-Life Balance – Less stress, more purpose. A culture that respects your time and values your wellbeing
  • High-Quality Clients – Longstanding relationships with businesses that return time and time again
  • Room to Grow – The real estate work has been thriving without a full-time in-house lead — imagine what you could do with it
  • Progression Potential – With you driving this practice area, future leadership is on the table

What They’re Looking For
  • A senior real estate solicitor (likely 3+ PQE, but open to the right experience)
  • Comfortable working independently
  • Strong technical grounding across commercial property transactions
  • A client-first mindset and the confidence to lead the department’s next chapter

This is not a role buried in a hierarchy. It’s a unique opportunity to take your career in a more rewarding direction — in a firm where people stay, clients trust, and work flows in.
