Premium Bonds investment date

Albermarle

A family friend is using their money in Premium Bonds to part fund a property purchase.
As is normal the mortgage company ( and later the conveyancing solicitor no doubt) want to see proof of funds, and that the funds have been there for a suitable period of time.
The person involved bought £50K in bonds about two years ago, but on the NS&I website there is no date given with this transaction, which may cause problems.
I checked my own PB's ( which is less than the full amount and with prizes reinvested) and can download a document listing all transactions. So a long list of new bonds bought with prizes and past purchases of bonds, but no transaction dates.
Would anybody know how to get a list of dated transactions? Bit of a long shot I know.
Maybe they will have to call them, which is usually a fraught experience.....

It doesn't directly address the question but won't there be a transaction of £50K from a bank to NS&I from two years ago visible on a bank statement?

Hi, I do not know if this helps, but last year I had to draw out  from Premium Bonds £40k to put towards a property purchase, all the solicitors wanted to know was proof of funds and I think I just showed them a copy of my bank statements to show where the money came from, plus I had to show them where the original chunk of money came from, easy enough, it was from property sale.   I must add, that I did not have a mortgage though.

My OH has found the info now

If you download the transaction history, there are no dates.
But if you scroll down there is an option to see 'bond history' which does have dates, so problem solved.
As said they may also have to show where the original money came from at some point.
Thanks
