Form TA6 — Property Information Form 2026 Seller’s Guide

In short: Form TA6 (the Property Information Form) is the seller’s honest disclosure to the buyer in a residential sale in England and Wales, covering boundaries, disputes, notices, alterations and building control, guarantees, insurance, environmental risks, rights and arrangements, parking and other charges. Material misstatements can give rise to claims under the Misrepresentation Act 1967 and even rescission, so accuracy matters. eLitigant drafts your TA6 replies — or reviews the draft you’ve written — working only from your own documents.

TA6 is the seller’s honest account of the property to the buyer. Complete it carefully — misrepresentations can unwind a sale years later. Answer by proxy “not as far as the seller is aware” where you genuinely do not know. Lie by omission at your peril.

What TA6 asks

Part 1 — Boundaries

• Who maintains which boundary
• Any boundary disputes
• Any changes to boundaries in the last 10 years

Part 2 — Disputes and complaints

• Any disputes with neighbours in the last 3 years
• Any complaints made or received
• Any mediation or proceedings

This box is the one sellers are most tempted to answer dishonestly. Don’t. Neighbour enquiries during the buyer’s searches can reveal undisclosed disputes — the sale unravels and damages follow.

Part 3 — Notices

• Planning notices
• Enforcement notices
• Local authority enquiries
• Party wall notices

Part 4 — Alterations, planning and building control

• Alterations carried out by the seller
• Planning permissions obtained
• Building regulations approvals (and completion certificates)
• FENSA or CERTASS certificates for replacement windows
• Gas Safe or NICEIC certificates for works

Missing building regulations certificates are one of the most common sale blockers. Indemnity insurance often bridges — Chris drafts the indemnity request to insurers.

Part 5 — Guarantees and warranties

NHBC, Premier Guarantee, FMB warranties, damp-proof course guarantees, roof warranties.

Part 6 — Insurance

Current buildings insurance and any refusals, loadings, or exclusions.

Part 7 — Environmental

• Flood risk
• Radon
• Contaminated land notices
• Japanese knotweed
• Any other environmental issues

Japanese knotweed: the disclosure required is not “has it ever been on the property” but “are you aware of its presence.” If you have treated it, disclose and provide the treatment plan.

Part 8 — Rights and informal arrangements

• Rights of way (granted or enjoyed)
• Easements
• Shared access, shared utilities
• Arrangements not in writing

Part 9 — Parking

On-street, private, permit, shared.

Part 10 — Other charges

Service charges, estate rentcharges, management company fees.

How to answer

Three answer types:

• “Yes” with particulars — where you know the position
• “No” — where you know there is no such issue
• “Not as far as the seller is aware” — where you genuinely do not know

The third answer type is protective — but only if it is true. If you suspect but have not confirmed, disclose the suspicion with a note.

Misrepresentation risk

Material misrepresentations in TA6 can give rise to:

• Claims under the Misrepresentation Act 1967 — damages
• Claims for breach of contract
• Rescission of the sale (rare but possible)
• Fraud claims where deliberately dishonest

Can Chris help complete TA6?

Yes. Upload your title, any correspondence with neighbours, any certificates, any indemnity policies. Chris flags each section with prompts — things you need to consider, documents you need to attach, risks of a particular answer, and the protective phrasing where you genuinely don’t know. Chris drafts your TA6 guidance, and the whole seller’s pack including TA7 (leasehold), TA10 (fittings), and TA13 (completion undertakings).

Prepare to win. Plan not to fail.

Buyers’ conveyancers read TA6 with a pen in hand. Complete it so you never see them again after completion.

Frequently asked questions

What is Form TA6?

TA6 is the Property Information Form — the seller’s honest account of the property given to the buyer. It covers boundaries, disputes and complaints, notices, alterations and building control, guarantees, insurance, environmental issues, rights and informal arrangements, parking, and other charges such as service charges and rentcharges.

What are the three ways to answer TA6?

There are three answer types: “Yes” with particulars where you know the position; “No” where you know there is no such issue; and “Not as far as the seller is aware” where you genuinely do not know. The third is protective — but only if it is true. If you suspect something but have not confirmed it, disclose the suspicion with a note.

What happens if I get a TA6 answer wrong?

Material misrepresentations in TA6 can give rise to claims under the Misrepresentation Act 1967 (damages), claims for breach of contract, rescission of the sale (rare but possible), and fraud claims where the answer was deliberately dishonest. Buyers’ conveyancers read TA6 closely, and neighbour enquiries during searches can reveal undisclosed disputes.

How should I disclose Japanese knotweed?

The disclosure required is not whether knotweed has ever been on the property, but whether you are aware of its presence. If you have treated it, disclose that and provide the treatment plan.

What if I’m missing a building regulations certificate?

Missing building regulations certificates are one of the most common sale blockers. Indemnity insurance often bridges the gap — Chris can draft the indemnity request to insurers as part of the pack.

Can Chris help me complete TA6?

Yes. Upload your title, any correspondence with neighbours, certificates and indemnity policies. Chris flags each section with prompts — points to consider, documents to attach, the risks of a particular answer, and the protective phrasing where you genuinely don’t know.
