1️⃣ Proof of Funds
Documents that confirm you have or will have access to the money:
🏦 Bank Statement / Deposit Confirmation
Shows any deposit already received from the buyer
Useful if part of the payment is already transferred
🗂️ Escrow Account Statement
Confirms funds are safely held in escrow pending completion
📝 Letter from Solicitor / Conveyancer (Most Common)
Confirms you’re selling the property and contractually entitled to funds
Often the easiest and most widely accepted proof
2️⃣ Proof of Property Sale
Documents showing that a valid sale agreement exists:
📄 Signed Sale Agreement / Contract of Sale ✅
Signed by both buyer and seller
Shows price, parties involved, and completion date
Strongest evidence that the sale is genuine
🏢 Memorandum of Sale (UK-specific)
Issued by the estate agent summarizing buyer, seller, price, and address
✉️ Offer Letter / Acceptance Confirmation
Shows buyer’s formal offer and your acceptance
Weaker than a full contract but still useful
3️⃣ Additional Supporting Docs
📑 Exchange of Contracts Confirmation
Legally binding once contracts are exchanged
Strong proof of impending funds
📋 Completion Statement (when available)
Issued by your solicitor
Shows the exact amount you’ll receive after fees and taxes
