CHANCEL REPAIR LIABILITY

Recently, there has been mention in the media of property owners discovering that they have a responsibility for paying for repairs to their local church. This is known as Chancel Repair Liability whereby a parochial church council can require owners of former church land to meet the cost of repairing the church chancel. The Bishopstone Parochial Church Council has undertaken research regarding the question of Chancel Repair Liability in the Parish of Bishopstone and Stratford Tony. This is information which might be of interest to potential buyers and sellers of property.
