TA6 form: the seller's property information form

Not legal advice. This page has not been reviewed by a solicitor.

The short answer

The TA6 is the Law Society's Property Information Form. The seller completes it after an offer is accepted, and it goes to the buyer's conveyancer with the draft contract. Since 30 March 2026, firms in the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme use the 6th edition (2025) on new instructions (Law Society: TA forms; Today's Conveyancer). The buyer can rely on the answers, so an untrue answer can lead to a misrepresentation claim (Misrepresentation Act 1967, section 2).

What the TA6 asks about

The form is a Law Society document (Law Society: TA forms), so we describe it rather than reproduce it. The topics it has long covered:

Topic	What the seller tells the buyer
Boundaries	Who owns and maintains each boundary, and whether any have moved.
Disputes and complaints	Past or current disputes with neighbours or anyone else about the property.
Notices and proposals	Letters or notices that affect the property or nearby land, such as planning applications.
Alterations and consents	Work done to the property, with planning permission, building regulations sign-off and other consents.
Guarantees and warranties	New-build warranties, and guarantees for work such as windows, damp-proofing or electrics.
Insurance	Whether the property has been hard to insure, and any claims.
Environmental matters	Flooding, radon and invasive plants such as Japanese knotweed.
Rights and arrangements	Shared access, rights of way, and anything used informally by or over the property.
Services and utilities	Electricity, heating, drainage and sewerage, and who supplies them.
Occupiers and the move	Who lives there, whether they'll leave, and the seller's own sale or purchase.

Have copies of documents ready where they exist: planning permissions, building control completion certificates, guarantees and the like, and ask your conveyancer which to send.

Which edition

Edition	Status on 30 October 2026 (Law Society)
6th edition (2025)	Released October 2025. Mandatory for CQS firms on new instructions from 30 March 2026.
5th edition (2024)	Built around upfront material information. Withdrawn; only for transactions already using it before 30 March 2026.
4th edition (2020)	Withdrawn on the same basis as the 5th edition.

A leasehold sale also needs the TA7 leasehold information form (5th edition, 2025), which covers the lease, the landlord or management company, service charges and ground rent (Law Society: TA forms). What's included in the sale goes on a separate form, the TA10 fittings and contents form.

The 6th edition is shorter, with 15 sections and more "not known" options for sellers; the upfront material information questions added in the 5th edition were removed, along with questions on council tax, the asking price, building safety and accessibility (Today's Conveyancer; Law Society). If the buyer relies on an answer that turns out to be untrue, they may be able to claim against the seller for misrepresentation, including after completion (Misrepresentation Act 1967, section 2).

Answering it well

Answer from what you know. “Not known” is a proper answer when it's true; a guess isn't.
Look out the paperwork early: permissions, certificates, guarantees, and any letters from neighbours or the council.
Ask your conveyancer whether to disclose disputes and complaints, even settled ones.
If anything changes before exchange, tell your conveyancer so the buyer can be told.

Questions

What is a TA6 form?

The Law Society's Property Information Form. The seller of a home in England or Wales fills it in, and their conveyancer sends it to the buyer's conveyancer with the draft contract. It tells the buyer about the property: boundaries, disputes, alterations, guarantees, flooding, services and more.

Which edition of the TA6 should be used now?

The 6th edition (2025). It became mandatory for firms in the Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme on new instructions from 30 March 2026, alongside the TA7 leasehold information form (5th edition). A transaction that already used an older edition before that date can carry on with it.

Is the TA6 a legal requirement?

No law makes the seller use it. It's part of the Law Society's Conveyancing Protocol, which firms in its Conveyancing Quality Scheme follow, so most sellers' conveyancers use it. Whatever the form, the answers a seller gives can be relied on by the buyer.

What happens if I give a wrong answer on the TA6?

If the buyer relies on an answer that turns out to be untrue, they may be able to claim against the seller for misrepresentation, including after completion. 'Not known' is a proper answer when it's true; guessing is not. Tell your conveyancer straight away if something changes before exchange.

What changed in the 6th edition?

It's shorter, with 15 sections and more 'not known' options for sellers. The upfront material information questions added in the 5th edition were removed, along with questions on council tax, the asking price, building safety and accessibility.

Do I fill in the TA6 if the property is leasehold?

Yes, and also the TA7 leasehold information form, which covers the lease, the landlord or management company, service charges and ground rent.
