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

This software is the only way you can demonstrate to lender panels that you are, and can stay fully compliant with their instructions, with alerts on LiveMore’s changes. Even though utilising the tool is not a condition for being on the LiveMore panel, demonstrating you can stay up to date with LiveMore’s Handbook requirements is an excellent support to your application to their lender panel and, just as importantly, protect your panel standing.

COMPLETIONmonitor creates real-time alerts, automatically produces COLP and CQS reports, and will increase your firm's efficiency. It is also user friendly, cost-effective and, for many firms, leads to reduced PII premiums.

LiveMore Solicitor Panel Recently Asked Questions from members of the public

I have just been informed by my IFA that my the law firm I have appointed is not on the LiveMore Solicitor panel. How can I check?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to advise you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a firm that is on the the approved LiveMore solicitor panel.
Please assist. My lawyer is not to blame but, the conveyancing for my house purchase has been going on for months. The Local Authority Search from LiveMore was date stamped random date and we have agreed a date for me to move into the property on 6. My lawyer informs me that as she is on the LiveMore conveyancing panel she needs to redo the searches as they are now out of date.
A precondition to being on the LiveMore approved panel is to comply with the CML Handbook requirements (last updated for this lender on LiveMore)which specifies that a local authority search be not more than 6 months old. You should nevertheless ask your lawyer to check whether something called ‘search validation’ indemnity insurance is acceptable to LiveMore.
I note that you have a post code search directory identifying solicitors on the LiveMore conveyancing panel. Do firms pay you a commission if I instruct them for my own conveyancing?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the LiveMore conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to the any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint.
I am thinking of mortgaging my property does my lawyer have to be on the LiveMore Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor but LiveMore will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Can you point me to a directory of LiveMore panel conveyancers on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few lenders make their panel listings available online.
We expect to receive a DIP from LiveMore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).Do the LiveMore recommend a solicitor on the LiveMore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer
You will need to appoint solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the LiveMore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and the LiveMore through the process.
I have instructed a lawyer having made sure that they are on the LiveMore conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property? Or I've digested plenty of house buying,I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my solicitor - who is on the LiveMore conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
LiveMore will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually LiveMore will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller. or Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with LiveMore you could contact your them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors.
