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 is the only way you can prove to lender panels that you are, and can remain fully compliant with their requirements, with automatic updates on JPMorgan’s changes. While utilising this technology is not a condition for being on the JPMorgan panel, demonstrating you can remain up to date with JPMorgan’s Handbook requirements is a helpful support to your application to their lender panel and, more importantly, safeguard your panel standing.

The system generates real-time alerts, automatically produces COLP and CQS reports, and will improve your firm's efficiency. In addition it is user friendly, cost-effective and, for some firms, leads to reduced PII premiums.

JPMorgan Conveyancing Panel : Questions and Answers from members of the public

I need to swap lawyers as my lawyer is not on the JPMorgan panel of conveyancing solicitors. Is it practical to instruct different lawyers?
If you haven't yet instructed a solicitor to do anything for you and have just received quotes, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer you're considering.
Expecting to complete my purchase next Tuesday. My conveyancing lawyer has asked me to provide him with a copy of the building insurance for the house as he says that he has to check this in has capacity as lawyer for JPMorgan. What does the insurance need to cover?

Most conveyancing panel lawyers for JPMorgan undertake all of the work via the post, internet or over the phone. This means that they can undertake your Conveyancing Transaction no matter where you live in England or Wales. However you should check if you can still book an appointment to go into appointed conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.
I am considering applying for a JPMorgan mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for JPMorgan?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor but JPMorgan will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as JPMorgan do solicitors have to be pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are not aware of any lender fees to be on their panel although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I had instructed online conveyancers located in London who are on the JPMorgan solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a separate fee of £175 for the legal aspects of the JPMorgan mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by JPMorgan?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitors can charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by JPMorgan but by your lawyers. Some firms on the JPMorgan will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
We were going to get a DIP from JPMorgan this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).Do the JPMorgan recommend a solicitor on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently
You will need to appoint solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and the JPMorgan through the process.
