In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Arnold? Is this really warranted?

The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign should reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Where you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your solicitor will not be able to take you on as a client.
