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

The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign should confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Should you refuse to supply ID verification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.
