It's probably not a good idea to send enquiries with personal details to lots of different sites, unless you set up a separate email address and keep the enquiries general / anonymous. Make sure that you only ever give personal banking details out on secured sites: sometimes the site will take you to a secured area before asking you for your information. If you're worried about the security of a transaction, you could mix online and offline services! Do your research online, get the deal sorted out and go in person to the bank to sign the documents

How can I research the very best mortgages online? Where to find an interest rate differential calculator? How can a no credit finance angel be considered bad? In arrears & mortgage lender won't negotiate. Can anyone help? Can I have my Alliance and Leicester interest rate for my mortgage reduced? Is purchasing decreasing term insurance the best way to protect a mortgage? Is there a UK version of creditweb? Can I get a 100% mortgage / self certification mortgage combined?
