The beleaguered TA6 property form has been re-released after almost a year of tests with a working group of residential conveyancers

Last year, a Law Society update to TA6 to include ‘material information’ such as proximity of electric car charging points sparked fury among property lawyers, who said it increased their risk of liability. The row came to a head in July 2024 when the Law Society’s chief executive Ian Jeffery and then president Nick Emmerson survived a vote of no confidence brought by the Property Lawyers Action Group.

However, the sixth edition is ‘a simpler form with clearer explanatory notes’, Law Society president Mark Evans said this week.

More ‘not known’ options have been added, the questions on material information have been removed, and the sixth edition’s 15 sections are ten fewer than the previous edition.

TA6 (sixth edition) will be mandatory for Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) members from 30 March 2026.

NLJ this week: Assisted dying under the legal microscope
Assisted dying remains one of the most fraught fault lines in English law, where compassion and criminal liability sit uncomfortably close.
