The New TA6 - Practical Implications for Conveyancers

Introduction

The new TA6 property information form will become mandatory on 15 January 2025.

The updated form includes material information that the National Trading Standards Estate and Letting Agency Team (NTSELAT) says should be disclosed by estate agents on their property listings for the purpose of complying with the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008, as amended (‘CPRs’).

However, Part 1 of the new form transfers much of the burden of estate agents’ duties to provide material information onto sellers.

This webinar will review the latest developments and consider the practical implications for you and your clients.

What You Will Learn

This webinar will cover the following:

• The latest Law Society guidance on conveyancers' duties under consumer protection regulation (including the pending changes under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024)
• Potential criminal liability under the CPRs for anyone compiling material information for a property listing
• Advice to seller clients about MI, the new questions and the client’s increased exposure to potential claims, e.g. for misrepresentation
• Is it in the seller’s best interests to complete Part 1 of the new form?
• How far should you advise your client about the CPRs?
• Can you reconcile MI with your client’s legal professional privilege?
• What the Conveyancing Protocol says about supplying form TA6 to the buyer's conveyancer
