Chancel Repair Liability Indemnity Insurance Provider

Hi there,

I am a newbie here, and I hope someone can help me.

I am looking for a Chancel Repair Liability Indemnity Insurance provider to whom I can go directly and take a policy out.

My Solicitor has provided a quote for £75 (through ChancelSure) plus £75 arrangement fee. The quote seems high, and I am looking for alternative options.

Many thanks in advance.

Don't bother - there isn't a church in the land that will pursue this even if they could prove it.

The Aston Cantlow case was such bad publicity that no church will want to repeat.

If it's necessary at all - the price sounds about right. The vast majority of indemnity insurance providers only deal via solicitors - too much hassle for them to deal directly with punters and be responsible for selling them appropriate products etc.

I agree with Robin that it is pointless, but if you do want a policy it's the sort of thing that's only available to solicitors. They don't sell to the general ublic.

i think you should ask god for advice, he should know if he is going to claim or not

I'm shocked they are charging you a separate fee for arranging it! I've never known a solicitor to do that. Yes the policy costs, but to charge you for filling out a form is disgusting!

Pretty commonplace for additional fees to apply for things like this - normal pricing practice these days is for a basic fee and then add-ons for every complication. It's not just the time "filling in a form", it's also having all the discussion around it with the other party and the client (and their lender).

How old are you diggingdude? You do realise Father Christmas is just your dad with a beard and a red coat? And the Tooth Fairy is mum wearing.... well, what she usually wears at night.

Sorry to break the news but if you're over 10 you need to know the truth - these invisible bods you never really see? They're not actually real...........

I've just bought one (or my solicitor did for the house we were buying) and the cost was £14. The company is First Title Insurance plc

£15.95 but states due to FCA regulations it has to go through a solicitor. Contact other solicitors for an arrangement quote.
