Allied Irish Bank Solicitor Panel: Recently Asked Questions
Is there a standard appeals process to prevent solicitors from being unfairly removed them from lender conveyancing panels?
There are thousands of firms across the UK who feel aggrieved claiming that they have been removed from lenders’ panels without an explanation or a good
reason. It is highly unlikely, given that lenders have distanced
themselves from creating a standardised appeals process for
brokers, that an appeals process will be introduced for
lawyers. Commenting on the call by brokers to have a standardised
process the CML said’ “While we understand that some lenders do have
an appeals process, it would not be appropriate for a trade body such
as the CML to seek to be prescriptive about such a process.” Some
lenders do of course set out an appeals policy. The Law Society does
have information on it’s site that may be of assistance. If you would

Protection Service please contact us.
Can you give me an example of some of the reports available via COMPLETIONmonitor to support my appeal to be reinstated on the Allied Irish Bank solicitor panel?
There are many reports available, five of which are as follows:
- Disclosure/Notification to Lender analysis indicating frequency and nature of disclosures - to include benchmarking analysis against aggregate data
- Average time frame to send deeds to the lender (calculated from completion date or title registration)
- Number of conveyancing cases by lender
- Analysis as to the nature of clients (e.g.existing/new/seen in person)
- Buy to Let transactions
Do banks such as
Allied Irish Bank engage a separate conveyancing panel for buy to let mortgages?
The majority of lenders do not operate a specific buy to let conveyancing panel but we are hearing about a few that do. We do not know what the position is with
Allied Irish Bank as at todays date. If you're about to receive instructions from a client on a buy to let purchase with a mortgage from

I just found out that the firm is no longer on the
Allied Irish Bank solicitor panel? Will that impact my PII cover?
The best placed professionals to answer this question are your insurance brokers.
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.
