In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bayswater? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to check the ID of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Where you are unwilling to provide identification documents, your solicitor would not be able to act for you.

It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Bayswater. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
