TA Forms Overview

Property Information Form (TA6)

It can be said that conveyancing work properly starts with the seller completing the property information forms and passing them to the buyer via the corresponding solicitors. Once the buyer’s solicitor – and the buyer – has the form, then it can be examined to find out about various essential matters, such as, presence of any guarantees, surveys, planning and building control certificates and warrantees for major items.

It is not uncommon for the buyer’s solicitor to use the contents of the form to raise further enquiries and direct these to the seller’s solicitor and the seller. Any errors or commissions at this stage can delay the process of conveyancing. The Property Information Form should be completed with as much detail as possible; presenting original invoices and guarantees where possible including but not limited to boiler maintenance checks, FENSA/NHBC certificates, planning permission, building control, electrical checks. By providing as much information as you have about your home will in turn speed up the conveyancing process, as additional enquiries will be raised by the buyer's solicitor flagging up any missing details. It is often the case that the conveyancing transactions that take the longest are those where the seller failed to provide information about their property.

New Home Information Form (TA8)

The New Home Information Form is designed to be used in conveyancing transactions in conjunction with TA6 Property Information Form, or a TA7 Leasehold Information Form and/or a TA10 Fittings and Contents Form.

Fittings & Contents Form (TA10)

The TA10 'Fittings & Contents' form is intended to clearly itemise what is included in the sale of any property. It is completed by the seller and handed to the buyer during the sales process. The form is broken down on a room by room basis, and includes items significant items such as fridges or cookers, or minor items such as shower curtains if relevant. An exhaustive form should also cover items in any outdoor areas, such as greenhouses, sheds, trees and washing lines. Click here for the main Chimni Wiki page for the Fittings & Contents Form (TA10)
