The TA6 form, also known as the “Property Information Form,” is a crucial document used in the conveyancing process in England and Wales. It is completed by the seller of a property and provides important property information about the property being sold. Here are the key aspects of the TA6 form:
1. Property Details:
The form requests basic information about the property, such as its address, type, and tenure (freehold or leasehold).
2. Ownership and Title:
It includes questions regarding the ownership of the property, any restrictions on the title, and whether the seller has the legal right to sell the property.
3. Boundaries:
The seller must provide information about the property’s boundaries and any disputes or issues related to them.
4. Services and Utilities: The form asks about the services available to the property, such as water, gas, electricity, and drainage, as well as any issues related to these services.
5. Alterations and Extensions:
Sellers must disclose any alterations or extensions made to the property, including whether the necessary permissions and building regulations were obtained.
6. Planning and Environmental Issues:
The TA6 form includes questions about any planning permissions, enforcement notices, or environmental issues that may affect the property.
7. Insurance and Guarantees:
Sellers are required to disclose information about any insurance claims related to the property and any guarantees for work carried out (e.g., roofing, damp proofing).
The completed TA6 form is provided to potential buyers and their conveyancers during the sale process. It helps buyers make informed decisions and can identify any potential issues or concerns with the property before the purchase is completed.
