Well just been to the bathroom and found water pouring in.

It is the stupid church roof next door that is causing the water to come. The roof they said they had fixed.

Not impressed.

It can be a pain, when it really rains hard, I get a little bit of water in through one of my roofs, can't find the source though!

Christ, talk about cup half empty.

You have a free supply holy water in your bathroom. A subsection 4, grade 5 (Anglican) or subsection IV, grade V (catholic) miracle, I think you'll find.

A supply of bottles, a small print run of labels, and you're in business.

If I could collect it I would, but it is running along half the length of my house. Running out of towels though.

Becareful about moaning to the church about their roof dude.

Check your title deeds on your house first, and/or solicitor.

Chancel Repair Liability

In the light of a recent court case it is also necessary nowadays to check if the property could be affected by Chancel Repair Liability. This is an ancient right of the Rector of the Church in some circumstances to call on the owners of certain properties to contribute to the cost of church repairs. Until 2013 the Church does not have to register the right against the land registry's title register for the properties affected. It is impracticable and very expensive to search public records to establish whether an individual property is affected. However, it is very cheap to check if the property's postcode is in an affected parish. If it is insurance cover is also available at a relatively low cost against the associated risk.

They had previously agreed to sort the roof. I don't mind chipping in some, as is to my benefit. Ideally I would like the roof to cave in, that way they will have to sell up. They only use it once a month as it is. All 3 people who go.
