    Hello, i have just went through a mortage with halifax (just got formal offer yesterday in fact). It was not online but i would imagine the criteria would be the same.
    The mortage promise was the first step in getting the morgage, it does a soft search of your credit file, and gives you an idea if you will be accepted for the mortgage.
    The way it worked for me was i found the property,
    went through the morgage promise application stage,
    submitted an offer for the property i wanted,
    went back to HBOS and went through the full application which does a full hard credit search,
    the house report along with my most recent wage slip and the full application was sent to the underwriters,
    and a formal morgage offer was sent to me.

    hope this helps.
