> **Quick answer:** To sell a UK home you need: the **title deeds / Land Registry title**, the **TA6 Property Information Form**, the **TA10 Fittings & Contents Form** (plus **TA7** for leasehold), a valid **EPC**, **gas safety and electrical certificates**, **FENSA/building regulations certificates** for windows and notifiable works, **planning permissions**, and any **guarantees and warranties**. Assembling this pack early (effectively a property logbook) is the single biggest thing a seller can do to speed completion and prevent fall-throughs.

## The full selling-documents checklist

- ☐ **Title deeds / Land Registry official copies**: proof of ownership and title
- ☐ **TA6 Property Information Form**: the seller's disclosure form
- ☐ **TA10 Fittings & Contents Form**: what's included in the sale
- ☐ **TA7 Leasehold Information Form**: leasehold properties only
- ☐ **EPC**: Energy Performance Certificate (legal requirement to market)
- ☐ **Gas Safety Certificate**: where relevant (especially landlords)
- ☐ **Electrical certificate / EICR**: condition of the installation
- ☐ **FENSA / CERTASS certificates**: replacement windows and doors
- ☐ **Building Regulations completion certificates**: extensions, structural, electrical work
- ☐ **Planning permissions**: for any alterations
- ☐ **Guarantees and warranties**: damp proofing, roofing, boiler, double glazing, NHBC
- ☐ **Gas/electrical appliance manuals** and service records
- ☐ **Boiler service history**
- ☐ **Party wall agreements**: where applicable
- ☐ **Indemnity policies**: for any missing consents

## The core Law Society forms

**TA6 (Property Information Form):** the seller's detailed disclosure, boundaries, neighbour disputes, alterations, planning, services, guarantees, environmental matters. Honesty here is critical; misrepresentation can unravel a sale.

**TA10 (Fittings & Contents Form):** a room-by-room list of what stays and what goes. Prevents completion-day arguments over light fittings, curtains, white goods.

**TA7 (Leasehold Information Form):** for leasehold, service charges, ground rent, managing agent, lease terms. See our [leasehold property logbook guide](https://www.logbook.co.uk/leasehold-property-logbook-documents-uk/).

## Why assembling it early matters

The UK Home Buying & Selling reform is pushing information upfront to cut the \~5-month average transaction time and the high fall-through rate. A seller who has the full pack ready, a [property logbook](https://www.logbook.co.uk/property-logbook-uk/): lets the buyer's solicitor proceed immediately rather than waiting weeks for documents to surface. It's the difference between a smooth completion and a collapsed chain.

## What slows sales down

1. Missing window/works certificates (FENSA, building regs), triggers indemnity policies or retrospective applications
2. Unconsented alterations surfacing late
3. Leasehold information delays (managing agent packs can take weeks)
4. No EPC ready at marketing
5. Title issues (unregistered land, boundary discrepancies)

## FAQs

### Who prepares these documents?

The seller gathers them; the conveyancer/solicitor compiles and submits them. Increasingly, sellers prepare a property logbook in advance.

### What if I've lost a certificate (e.g. FENSA)?

Apply for a duplicate (FENSA reissues for a fee), obtain an indemnity policy, or make a retrospective building regs application. See our [FENSA guide](https://www.logbook.co.uk/fensa-certificates-what-uk-homeowners-need-to-know/).

### Do cash buyers need all this?

Cash buyers may be more relaxed, but a prudent buyer (and any lender) still wants the pack. Don't assume you can skip it.
