Chancel Check ReportsChancel repair liability is a medieval anomaly that granted Parish Churches powers to charge landowners for the upkeep of the chancel of the church. Chancel repair liability is still an overriding interest and currently attaches itself to land regardless of whether or not the liability is noted against the title, making the prospective risk unquantifiable. |
Drainage Search ReportDrainage and water searches will also be ordered by a Conveyancer and will uncover information on the area’s sewage system.
