Hi,
I rent out an upstairs flat, which was a 1930s built house which has been converted into two flats. The water waste for the kitchen/bathroom goes out through the wall to outside. The downstairs flat, which is owned by a housing association, has an extension built at the back of the property which has boxed in the external waste pipe for my flat.
That pipe has leaked in the roof cavity of the extension for the flat below and brought the ceiling down. Ive never had access to inspect those pipes as they’ve been boxed in.
I’d say the extension is around 10years+old and I’m not sure if the company that owns the property built it or if they bought it when it was already built.
Am I fully liable?
