COMPLETIONmonitor is web-based pre- and post-completion checklist for residential conveyancing lawyers. It is supported by PI insurers. It is a unique risk management tool.

This system is the only way you can prove to lender panels that you are, and can stay fully compliant with their instructions, with alerts on MBS Lending Ltd’s changes. While using the tool is not a condition for acceptance on the MBS Lending Ltd panel, demonstrating you can remain up to date with MBS Lending Ltd’s Handbook requirements is an excellent support to your panel application and, more importantly, protect your panel status.

COMPLETIONmonitor 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 reduced PII premiums.
