Summer 2026

Published 26th June 2026

In this edition, we have a claims case study that shows how a seemingly simple case of replacing some windows on a listed building can easily escalate, and we consider whether the Law Commission consultation on chancel repair liability will affect demand for the policies we provide.

We also focus on the constraints that restrictive covenants continue to exercise over proposed changes of use to a property as demonstrated by two Upper Tribunal rulings in the last year; and we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary this year!

What chance of chancel repair liability reform?

Following the Law Commission’s consultation on chancel repair liability (CRL) last year, we’ve been asked by a few solicitors whether we expect the outcome to affect demand for the policies we provide. Essentially, time will tell, but potentially yes. Like many of you, we will be very interested to see what the outcomes of the consultation will be, and we do expect some impact in the long term.
