Organisations need a chancel search for commercial premises to identify any potential legal obligations tied to chancel repair liability.
ChancelCheck is the only search that combines historical parish boundary data, modern Geographical Information System (GIS) mapping techniques, and information derived from the relevant Inland Revenue Index held by the National Archive.
By paying for this chancel search, business owners can uncover risks early, enabling them to make informed purchasing decisions and, if necessary, arrange indemnity insurance to protect their investment.

After my recent experiences with large organisations, it was a breath of fresh air to speak to a real person who answered the phone promptly and was both courteous and professional in dealing with my enquiry. Thank you.
Absolutely Brilliant information provided in a matter of minutes, unfortunately the information you hold did not contain the answers I needed i.e. the map did not show the drainage information needed. Certainly not the fault of your customer services individual though.
Corina handled my enquiry. The response was swift and precise, and it was one of the nicest and most polite way of saying ‘No’ that I can recall being given! Thank you for your service. Corina is a credit to you.
