I am new to property and am planning to buy a new build property. I was asked by a broker to provide all contact details, bank statements, credit card details and proof of address for them to evaluate whether I could get a mortgage. I am worried whether sharing all these details online are safe and what precautionary measures should be taken to be safe against identity theft and other frauds.
Also what are the hidden charges. What solicitors are good? What are property survey firms etc to inspect the property?
Should I seek mortgage via broker or consult a bank or building society directly?
Thanks
