Why is it not ethical?
Her/his details are up there for all members to see

Which she put up there to further her career
not for the likes of Al's friend to look at.
Just because the information is public doesn't mean it's ethical to look for it.

But....
all Al's "friend" would be able to see is where she/he/it worked. It is hardly stalking

Well no it's not stalking in the worst possible sense.
But what if he did a land registry look up to find out how much her mortgage is. He's only finding out how much her house is worth and that's public record. Or did a credit check on her it's only information about her debts.
My point is basically, where do you draw the line in gathering available information about an ex before it becomes serious.

Like everything else
intent's the key factor.

the LR would not tell you how much someone's mortgage is
if it did, my job would be much easier.

it will only tell you (i) how much they paid for it [provided the transaction took place after 2004] and (ii) if they have a mortgage, and who the mortgagee/chargee is.

if you want to know how much the mortgage is for, you have to write to the bank and ask them to disclose the info.

/sensible answer, is sensible and work-related-experience not stalking-experience.

I nearly got tricked into one of those for a property transaction
It got very complicated very quickly, and was a bit whiffy so I binned it off. Troo story

i think there have to be substantial sums of money at stake
to make it worth the hassle. like stamp duty avoidance schemes.
