Hi,
I own an apartment - buy to let - on the top floor of a block. We've had nothing but problems with the roof and recently got the new management company (MC) to inspect (old one was useless).
Anyway, it transpires that the roof - or part of it - is in a bad way. Incredibly bad workmanship and design is letting in rain which has caused and is causing lots of damage.
Both the developer (last heard of in NAMA/Psychiatric Hospital) and construction firm (bankrupt/ceased trading) are long gone. The block is about 5 years old but I suspect that the problem has been there from the start.
Question is, should I get the MC to instigate aclaim on the buildings insurance or go after the builder/developers insurance. Anyone got any experience of this
TIA
