COMPLETIONmonitor is web-based 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 system is the only way you can prove to lender panels that you are, and can stay fully compliant with their instructions, with notifications given on MBS Lending Ltd’s changes. While using COMPLETIONmonitor is not a prerequisite for MBS Lending Ltd , demonstrating you can stay up to date with MBS Lending Ltd’s Handbook requirements is a helpful support to your panel application and, more importantly, protect your panel standing.

COMPLETIONmonitor generates real-time alerts, automatically produces compliance and CQS reports, and will improve your firm's efficiency. It is also user friendly, cost-effective and, for some firms, results in a PII saving.

MBS Lending Ltd Solicitor Panel Sample Enquires to our Call Center from members of the public

Can you please explain the reason why all solicitors are not on the MBS Lending Ltd Solicitor panel?
As unjust as it may seem for MBS Lending Ltd 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 MBS Lending Ltd are limiting their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control. The MBS Lending Ltd lawyer panel is not the most exclusive of all lenders
Our lawyer has uncovered a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing. The other side have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer has advised that as he is on the MBS Lending Ltd conveyancing panel he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is MBS Lending Ltd?
Just because you have a mortgage offer from MBS Lending Ltd does not mean to say that the property will be meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the CML Handbook Requirements. You and MBS Lending Ltd are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with by the MBS Lending Ltd conveyancing panel who has to balance acting for you and MBS Lending Ltd

I am trying to get my ex-husband removed the mortgage deeds. Can MBS Lending Ltd really insist on which solicitor I can or can not retain?
You can use any solicitor you like but MBS Lending Ltd then has the right to appoint a different solicitor to act for them at your expense. It might be more cost effective and quicker to instruct a lawyer who is on the MBS Lending Ltd solicitors panel
Do conveyancing lawyers on the MBS Lending Ltd conveyancing panel work on a no move no charge basis?
On the whole there are no requirements by lenders for their firms to operate on a no-sale-no-fee basis. There a small number of lenders who operate a very restricted conveyancing panel managed by a third party company (often termed in the industry as a ‘gatekeeper’). That third party may impose certain conditions such as non-sale-no fee on the panel firms. If you require this as a condition of your conveyancing then you should check with the conveyancing firm that this is part of their package
I have paid off my mortgage with MBS Lending Ltd. I assume I don't need a solicitor on the MBS Lending Ltd panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm
If you have finished paying off your MBS Lending Ltd mortgage they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the MBS Lending Ltd mortgage from the register. MBS Lending Ltd,and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage: but are not moving to another property where the MBS Lending Ltd has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and the MBS Lending Ltd has instructed the Land Registry to do so The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your MBS Lending Ltd mortgage has been paid off.
My offer on house has been accepted, the seller does however have a dependent purchase. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. My conveyancing solicitor has been instructed. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage app going with MBS Lending Ltd?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey/valuation, conveyancing search costs, etc). First you should check that your solicitor is on the MBS Lending Ltd conveyancing panel. As to the next stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot mortgage some buyers would pally for the mortgage with MBS Lending Ltd and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.
