Lexsure’s COMPLETIONmonitor is an online pre- and post-completion checklist for residential conveyancing lawyers. It is supported by PI insurers such as AmTrust. It is a unique risk management tool.

This system facilitates the way you can demonstrate to lender panels that you are, and can stay fully compliant with their instructions, with alerts on Allied Irish Bank’s changes. While utilising the tool is not a condition for acceptance on the Allied Irish Bank panel, demonstrating you can remain up to date with Allied Irish Bank’s Handbook requirements is an excellent support to your application to their lender panel and, more importantly, safeguard your firm’s panel status.

COMPLETIONmonitor creates real-time alerts, automatically produces compliance and CQS reports, and will improve your firm's efficiency. In addition it is user friendly, cost-effective and, for many firms, results in reduced PII premiums.

Is there a reason why all solicitors aren't included on the Allied Irish Bank Solicitor panel?
As unjust as it may seem for Allied Irish Bank to restrict who can act for them from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the other side of the coin is that the lenders are becoming ever more anxious and feel the necessary need to protect them from mortgage fraud and other illegal activities. As a result of this concern Allied Irish Bank are limiting their conveyancing panel to a manageable size. The Allied Irish Bank conveyancing panel is not the smallest
Our lawyer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a workaround.

I am selling my house. Does my solicitor have to be on the Allied Irish Bank conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Allied Irish Bank conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. it might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
Is it the case that all solicitor firms on the Allied Irish Bank conveyancing panel regulated by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Allied Irish Bank conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers (CLC).
Do the majority of lenders operate their own panel of solicitors?
Many lenders do operate a restricted conveyancing panel but a lot of lenders allow any solicitors to join their panel so long as they meet their criteria. Each lender sets their own criteria. For example the Allied Irish Bank conveyancing panel requirements are different to Allied Irish Bank’s conveyancing panel requirements.
