The Law Society TA6 Property Information Form was first introduced in October 2007 in conjunction with the roll out of the ill-fated Home Information Packs. They were intended to provide a standard set of enquiries to be completed by anyone selling a property, providing information to any prospective purchaser about legal and practical issues affecting the property.

In 2024 the Law Society introduced the fifth edition of their TA6 Property Information Form, which was quickly abandoned due wide-spread concerns being raised in relation to its complexity, significant increase in length compared to the fourth edition, and difficulty for Sellers to understand. Additionally, it increased the legal liabilities for both Sellers and their conveyancers.

In the wake of this, the Law Society entered into a lengthy consultation procedure with the conveyancing industry before releasing the newest edition of the TA6 Property Information Form, which became mandatory for conveyancers to use on 30 March 2026. The sixth edition has simplified the extent of enquiries and provided clearer explanatory notes to help Sellers in completing the form, compared to the fifth edition.

The TA6 Property Information Form usually forms part of the collection of documents that form the Contract Pack that the Seller’s conveyancer sends to the Buyer’s conveyancer once an offer has been accepted on a property.

The form can be completed before an offer is accepted on a property, but the Seller does have an obligation throughout any transaction to update the Buyer of any changes to the information provided in the Property Information Form. Failure to complete the form truthfully or to provide updates of changes to the information in the form, can lead to serious consequences.

The new edition of the Property Information Form has attempted to reflect common features of modern and modernised properties, such as incorporating questions relating to electric vehicle charging points and heat pumps.

The newest edition of the form has also introduced an increased number of questions to which the answer can be “Not Known”, to more properly reflect the reality that many sellers do not have a definitive knowledge of all matters relating to the property they are selling.

As required by the Law Society’s Conveyancing Protocol (which we observe as members of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme), the newest edition forms part of the standard set of documents we send to all clients when instructed to represent them in the sale of a property.

Whilst the first port of call for any seller completing the form are the explanatory notes contained within it, our conveyancers are always on hand to provide assistance to our clients on how to complete the forms.
