TA6 form

thebullsback

Our house is going on the market soon .I've just hear about the ta6 form and i am wondering how I should answer a question on house electrics considering as the owner for 25years I have added extra lights and replaced a shower extractor fan during that time, I am a DIY er and not a qualified electrician .

Extending an existing circuit is allowed DIY outside special locations, eg bathroom.

Likewise replacement of appliance on an existing circuit is allowed.

So personally I would answer that no notifiable additions or alterations have been done. (The question is aimed at notifiable works)

These would be the relevant questions on the TA6:

So you could say "Yes" to the installation work (11.1) - but "No" to having certificates (11.2).

Maybe you could get an EICR, and attach it - that might reassure the buyer.

@anselld - the Yes/No question is about "any electrical installation" not "any notifiable electrical installation".

So maybe the best solution is to say "Yes" to installation work, but add a note to say "I believe that the work was not notifiable".

it might help to look at the guidance from the Law Society on how to answer its own Form TA6 in respect of section 11?

Thanks for replying everyone .

Maybe I should undo the work I have carried out just to be safe .

I wouldn't bother. In the (I think unlikely) event that your buyer gets twitchy about it, they can either ask you to undo it, or just undo it themselves when they move in.

Then you'll have done twice as much work.

I would answer yes and then if the buyer wants further details perhaps offer to get an EICR carried out.

I certainly wouldn't undo the work.

I would just answer Yes and write in the box "During my 25 years of ownership of the property, I have added extra lights and replaced a shower extractor fan. These were not notifiable works, so no certificate is available."

If the buyer really wants an EICR they can pay for one themselves, in my view.

Due diligence is for the buyer,

Never offer more than you are asked for, certainly don't entertain having an EICR done. Invite any buyers to undertake their own inspection, nothing more.

Ok everyone thank you all for your input . I'm going down the Yes work Carried out and No certification route
