JPMorgan Conveyancing Panel: Recently Asked Questions
Can my practice submit a complaint to the CML about being suspended from the JPMorgan conveyancing panel?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders is an association rather than a regulator and therefore do not advise on complaints against lenders. You can of course contact Lexsure to see if we can help.
Do JPMorgan or the CML run professional training Courses for the
JPMorgan approved solicitor panel in much the same way that the Law Society run cases for CQS firms?
No such training is arranged by the CML although they do arrange numerous useful conveyancing related conferences which are attended by firms on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel. We do intend to run specific lender focused seminars in the near future including a webinar on JPMorgan’s Part 2 requirements. Law firms on the JPMorgan conveyancing panel will be invited. Information about the webinar will be communicated as part of the LENDERmonitor P2 change Notifications.
Is there a standard appeals process to prevent solicitors from being unfairly removed them from lender conveyancing panels?
We have come across many solicitors who feel 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

My client is looking to purchase a property for £800,000 in Leeds requiring a mortgage advance over GBP 500k.
I am on the
JPMorgan conveyancing panel but do JPMorgan have a separate approved panel when the advance is above 350k?
We only know of a couple of lenders that operate a separate approved solicitors panel where the mortgage advance is over a certain threshold.
You should nevertheless check directly with
JPMorgan. At one stage HSBC would only allow Sole
practitioners to act for them where the mortgage was below
£150,000. We are not sure if HSBC still operate such a condition. In
your case it is best to check with JPMorgan
My firm is not on the
JPMorgan conveyancing panel as well other banks.
My clients, who have applied for a mortgage with JPMorgan would still like to instruct me even though I am not on the
JPMorgan panel. Am I doing anything wrong is suggesting to my client that they use a firm down the road to act for
JPMorgan on mortgage aspect of the conveyancing?
Please tread carefully here as what you are suggesting may not be acceptable to the mortgage company.
It is possible that you (as a non-panel firm) or the mortgage applicant are not at liberty instruct a panel firm of your choice. Many lenders make it clear to their panel firms that where a non-panel member firm is instructed by one of their mortgage applicants, the lender must appoint a panel firm to carry out its instructions and to liaise with the borrower's conveyancing firm.
You also need to make the costs implications and potential for delay very clear to your client.
Our membership of the
JPMorgan conveyancing panel was terminated but was reinstated on appeal, do I need to include this information on my application for CQS accreditation?
You should supply details of the date of removal, information on the reason for
removal, date of appeal and any reason given for reinstatement. This
should not adversely impact your application but gives the Law Society viability as to what has happened.
My firm is listed on the
JPMorgan
conveyancing panel and all set to complete a remortgage within the next few weeks. I dont have a Mortgage Deed for the client to execute.
Who do I contact at JPMorgan to obtain duplicate documents?
You need to communicate with JPMorgan
to obtain standard documents. The The Council of Mortgage Lenders Handbook has an express question for banks to enumerate who to contact to obtain standard documents.
