Job Description
Salary: R29 000 - R32 000 per month
Remote Recruitment is hiring a Conveyancing Assistant for a UK employer, fully remote from South Africa.
Role overview
You will support UK conveyancers through the file: ordering searches, preparing packs, chasing third parties and keeping clients updated so transactions do not stall in silence. It suits someone organised who enjoys steady progress.
You will work 09:00-17:00 UK time (11:00-19:00 SAST) from home, with equipment guidance, a proper induction and a manager who is contactable through the day. This is a permanent role, not a short contract.
Key responsibilities
* Open files, run client checks and prepare initial packs
* Order property searches and chase results
* Prepare draft contracts, forms and completion statements
* Liaise with estate agents, lenders and the other side
* Keep the case management system accurate and up to date
* Update clients on progress at agreed milestones
What you'll need
* Experience supporting conveyancing, property law or legal case administration
* Familiarity with a legal case management system
* Strong accuracy with dates, forms and file documentation
* Clear, reassuring written and phone communication with clients
* Reliable home internet and a quiet space for UK-hours work
Nice to have
* Exposure to Land Registry applications
* Experience with leasehold transactions
* Familiarity with anti-money-laundering checks
What's on offer
A permanent, fully remote role supporting a defined caseload, with a conveyancer who explains the work and a clear progression path into paralegal or file-handling roles.

Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards β use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
