A chancel claim on a commercial property proves that legal indemnities are far from being money for old rope.
The legal landscape for chancel liability was altered permanently in October 2013, with the enforcement of the Land Registration Act 2002, but the conveyancing process has remained largely unaffected.
13th October may have been seen by some as the end of an era for chancel liability, but the risk of some property owners facing a hefty repair bill remains.
Even after this date has passed, the Church can still choose to register a liability on the Land Registry title up until the point when a property is first sold. If they do so, the liability is 'known' to all, and can be enforced at any time in the future. The good news is that insurance is available for this 'known liability'.
Is the death knell due to sound for chancel repair liability insurance?
