Lexsure’s COMPLETIONmonitor is an online pre- and post-completion checklist for property lawyers. It is supported by PI insurers. It is a unique risk mitigation tool.

This system optimises the way you can demonstrate to lender panels that you are, and can stay fully compliant with their instructions, with alerts on Platform’s changes. Even though using the tool is not a prerequisite for Platform , demonstrating you can remain up to date with Platform’s Handbook requirements is an excellent support to your application to their lender panel and, more importantly, safeguard your panel standing.

The software creates real-time alerts, automatically produces regulatory and CQS reports, and will improve your firm's efficiency. In addition it is user friendly, cost-effective and, for some firms, results in reduced PII premiums.

My mortgage broker has says he needs my law firm’s panel reference for the Platform Home Loans conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have tried my local Platform Home Loans branch but they have not got back to me yet.

We are due to exchange on the purchase a house but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the seller of £3k approx by way of a reduction in the price.
