TA6 and TA10

bumper31

Hi, need to query the collective wisdom.....
Are TA6 and TA10 forms optional?

I have a vendor who has provided these forms incomplete. Not just No/Don't know or Not to my knowledge.....whole sections not complete.

I have challenged this and said I want them completing as I would really like it confirming that the Kitchen units are included!

The response from their solicitor is OF COURSE the kitchen units are included and that concludes things as all enquiries are met.

I said no they haven't as I want the forms completing.......My solicitor isn't helping in this regard, which is disappointing.....so....

Are these optional or mandatory and are the answers legally binding? Am I being a pain for insisting they are filled to completion?

Thanks......

Just about everything is optional. If you exchange, you do so on the basis of the information provided.

If you do not want to exchange on the basis of the information the vendor is willing to provide, then you're free to walk away.

You can rely on such statements from their solicitor.

Is the vendor acting as an Executor and doesn't, therefore, know much about the property?

Is this sarcasm? Or is it true? 

If it is true, my issue is that I only gave a couple of examples of what I would expect to see on the form and they answered them and said all enquiries had been met. I tried to explain I used kitchen units as an example and need to see the entire form filled out.....and round and round it has gone

Nope it is his property, he owns and has refurbished......I am seriously considering that he is illiterate.....

Solicitors can contract and give undertakings on behalf of their clients, so there's no reason why they can't answer this stuff even if their client seems baffled by the forms.

Apparently you can leave sections blank if you want to. 

I had the same when I bought my house last year. Lots of sections left blank. I got the answers from my solicitor who had to then confirm things with the vendors solicitor. A pain as it just took more time whereas if they’d just answered the questions on the form it would have been a much smoother process!
