Chancel Repairs Bill [HL]

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill addresses an old English law that can force certain property owners to pay for repairs to church chancels, sometimes costing thousands of pounds unexpectedly. The bill aims to limit or end this obligation so that property owners aren't suddenly hit with massive repair bills for buildings they don't own or control.

Presented by Lord Avebury.
