Legal Secretary - Commercial Property

Chester – £26,000 - £32,000

Legal Secretary - Commercial Property
Location: Chester
Salary: £24,000 - £32,000 (DOE)
 
A leading Chester law firm is looking for an experienced Commercial Property Legal Secretary to join its growing team.
 
You'll provide essential support to fee earners on a wide range of transactions, including transcription, dictation, document production, SDLT returns, and Land Registry submissions. This is an office-based role, perfect for someone who thrives in a traditional, professional setting.
 
What you'll need:
  • At least 6 months' experience in a Commercial Property department (non-negotiable)
  • Strong skills in transcription, dictation, and document formatting
  • Experience completing SDLT returns and using the Land Registry portal
  • Excellent organisation and attention to detail
This role suits a traditional Legal Secretary who enjoys being at the heart of a busy property team — not a law graduate looking to progress.
