Purchase completed a month ago - now solicitor wants proof of funds retrospectively

Multiple bank account interest merry-go-round is the "issue" to prove source.To complete Land Registry registration does the solicitor have to do it or can you do it yourself?
In your position, I think I'd just provide the 6 months worth of bank statements to the solicitor. It's probably less work than researching how you register the property, and then doing the registration yourself.0 -
Well, you ought to have gone through this before completion anyway. So the solicitor isn't asking you to do something additional to the norm, just late. But are they really asking you to go back "years"? "Months" is more common.Multiple bank account interest merry-go-round is the "issue" to prove source.
It's a pain, and they should have asked you pre purchase really, but I did this and had to provide lots of statements from multiple accounts, and it was fine.0 -
.But we're talking years of this and several closed accounts and transferred ISAs.
The money for the purchase came from your bank account(s) last month.
Surely statements for the previous six months, even a previous twelve months should suffice?0
