My best friend’s uncle is a property lawyer. I expect that I'll be able to get mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of figure should I be expecting for conveyancing in The Ridgeway?

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in The Ridgeway? Why is this being asked of me?
The Ridgeway conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners throughout the UK have an obligation under money laundering regulations to verify the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients will need to produce two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Bank Statement less than 3 months old).
Confirmation of the origin of funds is also required under the money laundering statutes as lawyers are required to check that the money you are utilising to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the total purchase monies where you are a cash purchaser) has come from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the fruits of illegitimate activity.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
