My best friend’s sister is a solicitor. I am hopeful that I can be offered mate’s pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what level of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Llangefni?

You should contrast pricing. Make use of our comparison tool on this page. The quotes seem to be different but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.

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

You are right in the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Llangefni. However these days you will not be able to complete any conveyancing process in the absence supplying proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of identification it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.

Proof of the origin of funds is mandated under Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancer will need to retain this information on record. Your Llangefni conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any monies from you into their client account and they will also ask further questions regarding the source of funds.

It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
