A Day in the Life of a Conveyancing Paralegal

Posted onJuly 2, 2024

Victoria Boutle joined Bell Lamb & Joynson in March 2024 as a Conveyancing Paralegal. Now that she has had some time to settle into her new role, we caught up with her to see what a typical day looks like, working in the busy conveyancing department…

AM:

The day starts with a 25/30 min commute to work on the bus from Southport. It’s been a bit strange travelling to an office after many years of WFH! I arrive at the Maghull office at 8.30am each day. Once at the office its straight upstairs to get the kettle on and COFFEE! This allows me to then spend the next 20 mins or so catching up on emails, the internal chat and with Rachael and the team and to get an idea of what the day will bring. The morning is spent usually prioritising any completions for that day, reviewing any upcoming exchanges and making any call backs from the day before.

PM:

I usually have around 30 mins for lunch and grab something from 1 of the shops in the square before heading back to the office. Afternoons fly by with ongoing completions of the day, prepping for the next day and upcoming days completions and exchanges. Preparing accounts packs, dealing with enquiries, ordering searches, checking mortgage offers and chasing and updating clients and buyers and sellers solicitors.

I leave the office in time to head home to Southport on the bus at 5pm. The evenings consist of taking my little dog Winnie out for a walk and spending time with my daughters.

I could not fault Lily's advice and service during the process of buying a house. As a first time buyer, I had loads of questions, and Lily always got back to me promptly with clear explanations and responses. I also needed to complete within a certain timeframe, and they ensured that this happened and we were not held up at all. I'll definitely be recommending to family and friends.

Holly dealt with my recent case she was very approachable kind and professional kept me informed on a weekly and sometimes daily basis she went above and beyond to help me in what was a difficult time for me personally. I would highly recommend Holly and would definitely use her again if required.

We had a great experience with Lily and Olivia and Bell Lamb and Joynson. It only took 2 months to complete on our house and despite me being a nervous wreck Lily was patient throughout the entire process.

What can I say about Daren Jones, he was so understanding and helpful throughout my case from the start of my case and to the hearing was always on hand when I needed advice. Would definitely recommend Bell, Lamb & Joynson Solicitors.
