My husband and I are buying a purpose built apartment in North Finchley with a residential mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We like our North Finchley conveyancing lawyer but Platform Home Loans Ltd advised that his firm is not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel firm or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them.
