No chancel search insurance

Insurance products can only be purchased by individuals who are FCA regulated. If you are a member of the public, we recommend speaking to your solicitor.

If a chancel search has not been conducted, this insurance policy safeguards your client against potential claims for chancel repair costs.

A parish can ask a property owner to pay for church chancel repairs, and this is usually identified in a conveyancing search.

Only FCA-regulated people can purchase this insurance, and we recommend doing so via a solicitor.
