Should you firm be removed from the
Allied Irish Bank conveyancing panel and you are unaware of or disagree with the reasons for your removal you should: (a) Contact
Allied Irish Bank directly. (b) If there is an appeals process detailed on your letter you should follow the process.
In appealing a decision by Allied Irish Bank, it may be useful to provide the following information:

- A copy of your COMPLETIONmonitor reports if you use that service
- Your recent claims history
- comprehensive details of all employees in your practice and their role.

- Forward copy practising certificates, the firm's current professional indemnity policy and your accountant's certificate, calculating the % of the firm's gross fee income is resulting from residential conveyancing
It is encouraging that some solicitors have been able to regain membership to panels notwithstanding the policy by the respective lenders to refuse panel membership to firms with certain profiles or characteristics. The success is primarily due to the firms’ ability to persuade the lender to make an exception if there is sufficient evidence to reassure them that the firm is well risk-managed.
Does my firm face being suspended off the
Allied Irish Bank solicitor panel if I have not sent the TID on a purchase within a certain period of completion?
You might expect
Allied Irish Bank via their Part 2 conditions to address this but the Handbook makes no mention on time frames. Do look at the Terms of
Allied Irish Bank’s Conveyancing Panel Appointment that you are bound by. For many lender's these Terms have a provision along the following lines:
‘To keep us informed of the reasons for any delay in your being able to send the title deeds and documents we require to us within 3 months of completion or evidence of proof of registration within that period. (We will send reminders if the deeds have not been received but will not acknowledge receipt of deeds’ It is important to keep
Allied Irish Bank updated.
Law firms can often compound their problems by not communicating with the lender when there is a delay or problem.
Are there conditions,outside the CML Part 2 requirements, that a firm should be aware of when on the Allied Irish Bank conveyancing panel?
In order to be on the Allied Irish Bank conveyancing panel solicitors have to complete an application form and agree Terms and Conditions. A sample of 5 conditions that we see amongst many lenders Terms (but not necessarily Allied Irish Bank) are as follows:
- To keep us informed of the reasons for any delay in your being able to send the title deeds and documents we require to us within 3 months of completion or evidence of proof of registration within that period. (We will send reminders if the deeds have not been received but will not acknowledge receipt of deeds.)
- Without prejudice to your obligation to comply in full with the Safeguards provisions in the CML Lenders’ Handbook, to report to us as soon as possible any suspicion that you have about the genuineness of any transaction in any respect.
- To carry out our instructions with reasonable care and skill, ensuring that all employees carrying out mortgage work on our behalf are qualified and competent to do so
- To be responsible for the reconstitution of the title deeds (whether the title is registered or unregistered, at your own cost), where any deeds in your possession, or were last known to be in your possession, go missing.
- That any deeds you borrow from us in connection with the personal mortgage of a partner or director at your firm must be requested by a partner or director other than the partner or director concerned and the transaction must be handled by that other partner or director. If you are a sole practitioner and require the loan of deeds in connection with your own mortgage, you must nominate a different firm on our panel to request the deeds and handle the transaction.
St Giles’ PII renewal form questions if my firm had been excluded from any lender panels in the last year.
I just discovered that the firm is no longer on the
Allied Irish Bank conveyancing panel? Will that impact my insurance?
Your insurance brokers are your best port of call to address this question.
The chances are that on the basis that you have not been removed for
fraud or negligence reasons that there will be little or no
impact. The main reason why a firm would be removed off of a lender
panel is due to low volume of conveyancing cases although there may be
a number of criteria for Allied Irish Bank solicitor panel
membership. Please remember that it is always important that you
complete your insurance forms accurately.
