More than 1,000 conveyancing professionals have registered to be part of the consultation on the TA6 property information form, the Law Society revealed today as the deadline for the consultation approaches.
Solicitors, licensed conveyancers or other professionals working in conveyancing are being encouraged to register for the consultation ahead of the deadline tomorrow (16 August 2024). Those registering have the option to take part in focus groups or user experience testing. A survey will also be sent to those registering, along with all Law Society members who currently list residential conveyancing among their areas of expertise.
As of today, 1,071 solicitors have signed up to the consultation.
The TA6 form was updated earlier this year to support National Trading Standards guidance on ‘material information’ required for property listings. Controversy over the form prompted a special general meeting of the Society last month.
Commenting on the consultation Society president Nick Emmerson said: ‘With more than a thousand people registered to be involved in the TA6 form consultation, we know that this is a very important issue for our members. We are committed to engaging with conveyancers across the country and want to hear from members who have used the forms and those who have not.
‘The consultation will help us understand users’ experience and views of the TA6 form, its part in the wider conveyancing landscape and to identify improvements to the property form.’
