The New TA6 (2025 Edition) & Changes to the CPRs - Legal & Practical Challenges for Conveyancers

Introduction

Following extensive consultation, the Law Society has published the sixth edition of the TA6 form, which will become mandatory for CQS firms from 30 March 2026.

Work on a separate Material Information Form has been paused by the Law Society. However, the government has launched its own consultation on material information.

Please note: Course content may change in response to any new developments, including potential amendments to the form based on feedback received by the Law Society.
