Response to Best price certificate? B and B say I have to proove????

In Scotland, after a house is sold it is registered with the Land Registry and they keep a record of how much it was sold for. I think it's probably the same in the rest of the UK.

Anyway, if your house was in an estate or area where there are a lot of similiar houses, you can contact Land Registry, giving them a list of the relative streets and ask them for a list of houses sold in those streets for a specific period (ie: 1 year either side of the date your house was sold)

What Land Registry cannot do is tell you what the type of the houses are on the list they send you, but all you have to do is go and check the address, see if it's the same as yours and hopefully get the evidence you need.

Land Registry (scotland) only charge about £5 for this and the info they gave me supports my argument that my house was undersold!! If I get to court I will use this as evidence,

Sorry if this is a bit long winded...but I hope it helps
