    If the mini statement shows your name and the account details, it should be acceptable. If it doesn't and only shows the last four digits of the account number it probably won't.

    For Santander's Everyday Saver they only produce bank statements annually.... So the branch printed off a Mini Statement....

    Is a Mini Statement good enough for a bank to accept as proof of funds?
    I thought it was your solicitor who wanted it? Ask your solicitor.
    Typical condescending poster.

    Blimey. When I did a house purchase 7 years ago my solicitor accepted scanned copies emailed to them. Or are your solicitors stuck in the 20th century?
    Scans can be edited.  ;)

    The point is that there are no "standard" requirements, and we don't know who your solicitor is or how fussy they are. So really the best way of finding out whether what you've got is sufficient, would be to ask them.
