Speakers and Topics Residential Conveyancing Morning Session

Ian Quayle, Speaker and CEO: The Revised TA6 (this presentation will be delivered virtually)

The revised TA 6 is compulsory for CQS accreddited firms in March 2026. In this presentation Ian will explore the following:

• Does the revised TA6 change the seller and conveyancer dynamic given the additional questions, the explanatory notes and the warnings to sellers in the new form.
• Are there risks for the conveyancer in providing explanation, information and advice concerning questions and what are the consequences of providing assistance to the seller client when required.
• How should problematical questions in the TA6 be dealt with?
• What are the lessons to be learned from Rosser v Pacifico and Patarkatsishvili v Woodward Fisher?
• What are the implications for conveyancers acting for the buyer?
• How should the retainer and report on title be amended?

Nigel Clayton, Barrister: Solicitors’ Duties to Advise in Connection with Residential Mortgages

• Mortgages are a huge part of the conveyancing process, but advising on them, that is, knowing when to advise; who to advise, and what to advise, often turns out to be a tricky exercise. This is a practical run-through some of the issues following Waller-Edwards v One Savings Bank Plc [2025] UKSC 22. It is presented by one of the country’s leading mortgage law experts!

Tracy Thompson, Property Lawyer:

From Source of Funds to Supervision: Regulatory and CQS Expectations for Conveyancers in 2026

• This session explores what residential conveyancers need to get right as regulatory and CQS expectations continue to evolve in 2026. Focusing on real-world practice rather than theory, the session examines how source of funds checks, matter risk assessments, fraud awareness and supervision are expected to work together to create robust and auditable conveyancing files.
• The session highlights common file-level pitfalls and provides practical guidance on evidencing decision-making and oversight. Delegates will leave with clear, actionable insights to help ensure their conveyancing files stand up to regulatory and Law Society scrutiny in 2026.
