I am planning to fill up the tier1 application shortly. I am aware that one needs to maintain equivalent of 2800GBP in the bank account for the last 3 months, to full fill maintenance fund requirement for the application.
I also understand that this requirement is there to make sure that the applicant have enough funds to support himself/herself for the initial period in UK after his/her arrival.
My question: Is there any provision to show funds available from a property sale proceedings? Instead of showing 2800GBP available for last 3 mths??
I hope tier1 regulations do have space for some flexibility & common sense, and not everything is run by hard coded rules.

Please let me know, if contacting the local UK consulate would be of any help, in this matter.
Thanks for any help you may offer.
