The Law Society (TLS) has released two new and updated transaction forms for use in residential property sales:
- TA6 Property Information Form (6th edition)
- TA7 Leasehold Information Form (5th edition)
Both have been redesigned to make them easier for sellers to complete and for buyers to understand. For the TA6, this involved listening to industry feedback, working closely with conveyancing experts and testing the form with real users. To ensure a smooth transition, firms accredited by TLS’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) will have until 30 March 2026 before the forms become mandatory. All previous editions will be withdrawn after this date.
Over the coming months, the Law Society will be encouraging solicitors and conveyancers to make the switch sooner through targeted communications that promote benefits such as the TA6’s clearer explanatory notes.
TLS’s website has been updated with information about the new forms, including how they’ve been improved and where to access them. Please do view the following pages:
- What’s changing – visitors can preview the new forms and download the explanatory notes.
- Transaction forms – includes links to suppliers.
There will also be a free online event on 13 January, where members can ask questions and hear more about what’s changed and why.
