TA13 standard form of requisitions: which side sends to which?

• A. Sellers Solicitor to Buyers Solicitor
• B. Buyers Solicitor to Sellers Solicitor
• C. Solicitors to mortgage lenders
• D. Surveyors to clients

Answer: (A)

Requisitions on title are part of the buyer’s due diligence. The TA13 standard form is used by the buyer’s solicitor to ask the seller’s solicitor questions about the title and the property, so that the buyer can confirm information and identify any issues before completion. The seller’s solicitor then provides replies and any relevant documentation. This flow—buyer’s solicitor sending the requisitions to the seller’s solicitor—fits the purpose of obtaining assurances about what is being transferred.
