The New TA6 - Practical Implications for Conveyancers

Introduction

This webinar will focus on the key practical implications for conveyancers of the new version of form TA6.

The presentation includes consideration of the material information guidance issued by the National Trading Standards Estate and Letting Agency Team (NTSELAT). It also covers key changes to the “CPRs” which have been made by the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

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.
