I'll take my chances with the insurance:rolleyes:

Very interesting thread I am currently buying a property and this has been identified by "ChancelCheck" to be in a tithe district within a parish which continues to have a potential chancel repair liability. Given that the property dates from around 1760 and is rural then I am thinking that taking out the insurance would be a sensible solution to this potential problem. However a thought occurs to me The church is supposed to be GOD's representative on Earth. If the chruch made a claim against me for repairs then would this be classified as an Act of God? If So this is usually exempted in most terms of insurance. Any thoughts.
