    We got out motgage offer with Lloyds on Monday of last week but when I checked my credit file there was an unrecorded enquiry made by them yesterday? Why on earth are they doing that? I'm so anxious now! Stressed from start to finish!!

    Probably to check that nothing has changed since they offered. Usually an offer is based on the fact that you will not take out any more credit accounts while the offer is in progress. If you do then they will recalculate.
