Property Lawyer

At ONP Solicitors, we know that moving home is about much more than bricks and mortar. It’s a significant moment in people’s lives, and we’re passionate about making the home-moving experience something to be celebrated, not tolerated.

Part of Movera, a group of home-moving brands including Cavendish Legal Group and CAL, we’re building a business that’s ready for what’s next - combining great people, technology and new ideas to keep moving forward.

And we’re moving fast. The world around us is changing, and so is conveyancing. We’re looking for experienced conveyancing professionals who are confident with technology, open to progressive ways of working and excited by the opportunity to keep learning and developing.

Why join us?

Be part of where conveyancing is going
We’re not standing still. We’re continually looking for smarter and simpler ways to work, investing in technology and embracing new ideas. If you're open to change, enjoy learning and are confident with technology, you’ll have the opportunity to help shape what comes next.

Make a difference to every move
Buying or selling a home is a big deal for our clients. We want every person who comes into contact with us to feel that their move matters - that they’ve been listened to, kept informed and genuinely looked after. Your expertise, judgement and approach can make a real difference.

Work with great people
We believe you do your best work when you’re part of a team where people support one another. We’ve built a collaborative, friendly and inclusive culture that feels good to be part of, where people share knowledge, celebrate each other’s successes and get stuck in to solve problems together.

Keep developing
The world of conveyancing is changing, and we want our people to lead that change. Whether you want to develop your technical expertise, learn new ways of working or take the next step in your career, we’ll give you the support and opportunities to keep moving forward.

Work in a way that works for you
Choose the flexibility that suits you, with opportunities to work fully remotely or from our offices in Stockport, Leeds or Cardiff. Our hybrid colleagues spend two days a week in the office, while our remote colleagues are equally part of the wider ONP community - connected, supported and working together wherever they are.

Join a business with ambition
As part of Movera, we’re helping to shape the future of the home-moving market. We’re ambitious about what we can achieve and want people who share that ambition - people who care about their clients, take pride in what they do and want to be part of building something better.
