TA6 Form

thebullsback

Our property was built in 1900 and the Loft area has no dividing structure between us and one neighbour .

The previous owner had a second celling constructed about a foot below the original ceiling so basically we are double skinned with two loft hatches one below the other.

As we are trying to sell we will need to fill in a TA6 . Is our situation applicable to any questions on the form?

The lack of a dividing wall in the loft is likely to be an issue for the buyer - or more specifically, their mortgage lender.

Assuming the mortgage lender's valuer looks in the loft, they might refuse a mortgage or insist on a retention, etc, until a dividing wall is built in the loft.

The problem is that fire and smoke might more easily spread between the houses without a dividing wall in the loft.

And there's the security issue - somebody getting into the loft from your neighbour's house and getting into your house via your loft hatches. Although, maybe you lock the hatches from the inside.
