In the event thatI was to acquire a simple residential propertyin Alton mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Alton?
The only reduction in fees you would achieve is the costs for searches.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Alton? Why is this being asked of me?
To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Alton conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is normally dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility account evidencing your correct address.
In accordance with Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are required to ascertain not only the identity of conveyancing clients but also the origin of monies that they receive in respect of any matter. An unwillingness to disclose this will result in your solicitor cancelling their retainer with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.
Your conveyancers will have an obligation to inform the appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.
