Law Society pauses work on proposed material information form

Article summary

The Law Society has paused work on a proposed separate material information form, following the withdrawal of guidance on material information by the National Trading Standards Estate and Letting Agency Team (NTSELAT) on 8 May 2025. Any future progress on the form will depend on whether the Competition and Markets Authority produces or endorses new guidance. However, the Law Society’s work on the TA6 (6th edition) form will proceed as planned, as it does not include questions based on the withdrawn guidance and is therefore unaffected by NTSELAT’s announcement. The new TA6 form will be made available to the Law Society’s licensed third-party suppliers from October 2025, with rollout to members scheduled to take place between October 2025 and January 2026. The new form will be mandatory for Conveyancing Quality Scheme members from March 2026.
