Hi all,
Bit of a strange one. We are suffering the ingress of water under the party wall from our adjoining property. At this stage have tested and retested all circuits in my own property and am 100% certain its from next door. My plumber gained admittance to the adjoining property and found several signs of water leakage, tenant was reluctant to let the plumber see any more and asked him to leave.
We notified insurance company and landlord of adjoining property. Damage to our property is significant, timber floor damaged and also plasterwork and paintwork. Leak was spotted first week of August and to date nothing has been done. As leak is still present I can't start to restore my property and level of damage is increasing.
Landlord is not based in Ireland and has appointed a loss assessor to represent her. He refuses to return calls and ignores emails. At this stage it seems that I'm going to have to go the legal route. All I want is their leak, which is the source of the problems, repaired so that I can start to sort our own property. Anybody have any advice on how to proceed in order to push the landlord to firstly respond and repair the problems.
Thanks
