Background
- Chancel repair liability is a medieval anomaly whereby the Parish Church was granted powers to charge those owning "rectorial land" for the upkeep of the chancel of the church.

- Of 15,000 parishes circa 5,000 parishes are at risk.

- Uses a simple, easy to use ordering system

Common Misconceptions
- That a chancel repair search of any kind is not a "usual and necessary search"
- Local knowledge should be relied upon, when historical parish boundaries are rarely known
- Only older properties can be affected
- Welsh properties are not affected
- The property needs to be close to a church
- Indemnity insurance is not available where a potential or actual risk is identified.
