Try entering<br /> HELLISH BILLS FOR CHURCH CHANCELS and read. The problem is finding out<br /> which church could bill you. Inland revenue want £100.00 to disclose this imformation </p> http://www.chancel.org.uk/forum/topic/useless-website-here-is-how-you-do-a-search#post-4 Thu, 01 May 2008 17:15:55 +0000 kpanc 4@http://www.chancel.org.uk/forum/ <p>I have just come across this as well. My solicitor is stating that the cople buying my property ( build in 1964) have completed a search and it has come up as 'potential high risk' there is nothing on the deeds and it was never mentioned when we brought the property only 2 years ago.</p> <p>I have tried to speak to our local church vicar who says he has heard of it but never known it to happen since and wasn't aware of any liability in the town. Unfortunatley he is un willing to send my solicitor a letter to confirm that effect.</p> <p>As my Solicitor has quoted i'm backed into a corner and may have to pay for the liability insurance. More expence! </p> http://www.chancel.org.uk/forum/topic/useless-website-here-is-how-you-do-a-search#post-3 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:02:13 +0000 admin 3@http://www.chancel.org.uk/forum/ <p>There is no unnecessary attack on the church, the statement is simply based on the facts that the only claims so far have been for isolated properties and not lagre housing estates.</p> <p>We don't support the use of any Chancel search companies, the website merely attempts to explain in normal english what all this nonsense is about.</p> <p>Thanks for posting your link and guidelines, i'm sure that will help many people/ </p> http://www.chancel.org.uk/forum/topic/useless-website-here-is-how-you-do-a-search#post-2 Fri, 04 Apr 2008 07:03:19 +0000 cuys 2@http://www.chancel.org.uk/forum/ <p>I'm not surprised I am the first post. This website is no help. And then there is the unnecessary attack on the church on the homepage.</p> <p>I only became aware of chancel liability yesterday when I saw "chancel search" on as an option from my solicitors. </p> <p>1. A quick search of the anglican church website,gave me the closest church to the property I wanted to buy,with clear parish boundary lines.<br /> <a href="http://www.acny.org.uk/" rel="nofollow">http://www.acny.org.uk/</a><br /> 2. Visited their website to obtain contact info.<br /> 3. Phoned, and in this case spoke directly to the friendly vicar, and was assured that there is no chancel repair liability applicable for her parish.<br /> Email them if you want it in writing</p> <p>Easy as that. Few pounds saved. </p>
