TA6 form
Gazette and Today’s Conveyancer report that the Law Society has unveiled next steps for conveyancers who signed up to participate in a consultation on its TA6 property information form.
Law 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.”
