Law Society publishes update on TA6 form consultation

Article summary

The Law Society has published an update on its TA6 form consultation, which received over 1,200 responses from its conveyancing members and other stakeholders. The Law Society is now working with 2CV to analyse the findings to improve the TA6 process and explanatory notes. It seeks to address specific areas of concern, including the form’s complexity and length, difficulty with specific questions, and the need for training and resources for both conveyancers and sellers. The Law Society also plans to provide an implementation period to allow solicitors and clients to familiarise themselves with any changes made, along with providing clear guidance notes and training for conveyancers and clients, and conducting user testing. In the interim, members will remain compliant with the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme if they continue using either the fourth (second revision 2020) or fifth edition of the TA6 form.
