What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Calcot? Why is this being asked of me?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business.
