Aperçu — adapté à Reed

Dear Hiring Manager,

A Legal 500-accredited firm handling complex commercial property work — including overages, conditional agreements and secured lending — is precisely where I want to develop my practice, which is why the Commercial Property Solicitor / Paralegal role at Reed's client in Chelmsford immediately stood out. My experience spans freehold and leasehold acquisitions, commercial lease drafting and development transactions, aligning directly with the breadth of work described.

My background in commercial property has equipped me to manage varied caseloads from instruction through to completion, advising both landlords and tenants on lease terms and acting for lenders on secured lending matters. I am comfortable working autonomously while contributing to a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team environment.

1Question

Describe a time when you managed a high-pressure caseload and had to prioritise competing deadlines.

Situation: During a particularly busy quarter, I was managing 38 active commercial property files simultaneously, including 6 development transactions approaching exchange simultaneously. Task: I needed to ensure no completion date was missed while maintaining quality of advice. Action: I created a daily priority matrix ranking files by exchange date and risk level, delegated title report preparation on 4 straightforward leasehold matters to a junior colleague, and communicated proactively with clients to reset expectations on two lower-urgency files. Result: All 6 development transactions exchanged on schedule, client satisfaction scores remained at 97% for the quarter, and no complaints were raised.
2Question

Tell me about a situation where a property transaction encountered an unexpected legal obstacle — how did you resolve it?

Situation: Three days before exchange on a £2.1 million commercial freehold acquisition, a search revealed an unregistered restrictive covenant that the seller's solicitors had not disclosed. Task: I needed to protect my client's position without losing the transaction. Action: I immediately reported the issue to the client, obtained a specialist indemnity insurance quote within 24 hours, and negotiated with the seller's solicitors to fund the premium as a condition of exchange. I also reviewed the overage provisions to ensure the covenant did not affect the development trigger. Result: Exchange proceeded on the original date, the client's development plans were unaffected, and the indemnity policy was in place at no cost to my client.
