Commercial chancel report by ChancelCheck

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.
