Property Information Form (TA6)

A seller is required to complete a Property Information (TA6) form to supply information on a range of issues including boundaries, alterations and extensions. The Law Society’s Property Information Form, also known as TA6, is completed by a property seller to give a potential buyer detailed information about the property being sold. The Property Information Form is one of three standard Law Society protocol forms a seller completes; the others are TA10 Fixtures and Fittings Form & TA7 Leasehold Information Form (applies only to leasehold and share of freehold properties).

Although it is not compulsory for a seller to complete, it ‘oils the cogs’ of the conveyancing process because it presents, in a logical format, facts and documents which may be relied upon by the buyer. Much like when you buy a car you want to see the car's full service history and invoices for works done, when you buy a home you would want to see all the invoices and guarantees for any work completed or equipment being sold with the property.

Our best advice is to complete the Property Information Form to the best of your knowledge and 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.
