Chancel Repair Liability Search

The Chancel Repair Liability search is conducted in certain areas, particularly rural locations, to determine if a property carries a historical responsibility.

This responsibility, originating from medieval times, involves property owners contributing to the cost of repairing the chancel, which is the section of a parish church containing the altar and choir area. The search examines historical records, land registers, and other sources to establish whether the property is subject to this liability.

If the search confirms the liability’s existence, buyers or mortgage applicants need to consider the potential costs associated with future chancel repairs, even if they are not directly affiliated with the church. The search provides important information for understanding and assessing any financial obligations linked to the property’s chancel repair liability. Legal advice may be necessary to fully comprehend the impact and implications of this liability on the property in question.
