Plato Property Handbook

The PLATO Property Handbook has been carefully prepared by members of PLATO, the United Reformed Church’s network of Property, Legal And Trust Officers, based centrally and in the 13 synods.

Its contents have been carefully checked, but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed, neither at the date of preparation nor when viewed or printed. Accordingly, neither the members of PLATO nor the United Reformed Church can accept responsibility for the accuracy of the information the handbook contains.
