Who has asked you to prove it?
I haven't had to at any point with mine but I would imagine you could show a mortgage statement or ask to be sent an up to date one and show the balance remaining in comparison to the selling price to show the equity.0 -
Deposit money has to be in the form of cash in the bank or building society, doesn't it?"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

A letter from your solicitor confirming the sale particulars should be sufficient where the equity is involved.

Lenders do not normally ask for anything is the deposit is coming from equity as they rely on the solicitor to handle things.
Occasionally they request a copy of the sale agreement from the estate agent.I am a Mortgage Broker
