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

This system optimises the way you can demonstrate to lender panels that you are, and can remain fully compliant with their instructions, with notifications given on Ulster Bank’s changes. While utilising this technology is not a prerequisite for Ulster Bank , demonstrating you can remain up to date with Ulster Bank’s Handbook requirements is an excellent support to your panel application and, more importantly, protect your firm’s panel standing.

The system generates real-time alerts, automatically produces SRA and CQS reports, and will increase your firm's efficiency. It is also simply to use, cost-effective and, for some firms, results in reduced PII premiums.

Common questions asked concerning the Ulster Bank Solicitor Panel from members of the public

I am getting a offer of a mortgage from Ulster Bank. I intend to use a Licensed Conveyancer. Does the Ulster Bank Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers
Ulster Bank’s conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Our grandson is about to exchange on a new build apartment with a mortgage from Ulster Bank. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Ulster Bank conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked.

The Developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it.

The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Ulster Bank conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I am Googling for conveyancing quotes online. Can I be sure that all the practices that are listed on your site are on the Ulster Bank conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have assured us via an online form that they are on the Ulster Bank panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the Ulster Bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific firm being on the Ulster Bank conveyancing panel is not accurate.
My grandmother passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor was left the property. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £4500. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Ulster Bank , pay off the mortgage etc. Is this allowed?
If you intend to re-mortgage then Ulster Bank will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Ulster Bank conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Ulster Bank conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Ulster Bank mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
Is it the case that all conveyancing lawyers on the Ulster Bank conveyancing panel work on a no move no charge basis?
In the main 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
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Ulster Bank. Solicitors have been instructed? What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Ulster Bank?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Ulster Bank completed the survey? Have you advised Ulster Bank as your lawyers details and checked that your lawyer is on the Ulster Bank conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers I paid an upfront payment of 200. Soon after the conveyancers contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Ulster Bank conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Ulster Bank panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
