Nobody knows. The Law Commission could trace no legal precedent.
In any case it is possible for the terms of a lease to make the tenant liable to cover such costs incurred by the landlord.


However, the Tithe Act 1839 said that where there was a liability (to repair a chancel) attached to a tithe rentcharge which merged in the lands out of which it was payable, it became a charge on the lands. That was one of the ways in which chancel repair liability became attached to the ownership of land rather than the right to receive tithes. "Lands" was defined in the Tithe Act 1836 to include leasehold property but only where the lease was at least 14 years long originally and the rent was not more than two thirds of the net annual value of the property. In other words, chancel repair liability can affect leasehold property but not on short leases or tenancies at a rack rent.

Is liability to contribute to chancel repairs set to end?

NO. The law as it stands is that any piece of land that has the liability, whether shown on the title documents or not, can be liable. As of 13/10/2013 the church has to register the liability against the title in order to ensure it can enforce their right to charge. There are simple, online and cost effective search options (£15 + VAT i think) with lopw cost insurance (circa £50) if there is a problem. A small price to pay for 25 year's peace of mind when one couple were charged £200k to repair their local chancel! Dont forget though, if your conveyancer doesnt warn you of the risk and the church claims against you just sue your conveyancer - its their job to do all "usual and necessary searches".
