COMPLETIONmonitor is an online pre- and post-completion checklist for residential conveyancing lawyers. It is supported by professional indemnity insurers. COMPLETIONmonitor is a unique risk mitigation tool.

This system is the only way you can prove to lender panels that you are, and can stay fully compliant with their requirements, with notifications given on Leeds Building Society’s changes. Notwithstanding that using the tool is not a prerequisite for Leeds Building Society , demonstrating you can stay up to date with Leeds Building Society’s Handbook requirements is a helpful support to your panel application and, more importantly, protect your panel status.

The system creates real-time alerts, automatically produces COLP and CQS reports, and will enhance your firm's efficiency. It is also simply to use, cost-effective and, for some firms, results in a PII saving.

Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain
I previously instructed online solicitors based in Cardiff who are on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate fee of £195 for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Leeds Building Society?
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 Leeds Building Society but by your lawyers. Some firms on the Leeds Building Society will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I have a mortgage with Leeds Building Society. My father retired last week and wants to pay off the mortgage left on the property. After Leeds Building Society is paid, I want to transfer the property to my mother's name; How long will it roughly take?

You will need a solicitor but they need not be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. You will need a solicitor to draw up the transfer and to deal with the Land Registry formalities. The only thing you need to consider is that by selling at an undervalue so ask your lawyer about the implications. There could be an inheritance tax issue if you die within 7 years of this. There's no capital gains tax for you as it is your main residence.
