Chis35 Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 The flat above one I let out has a waste pipe coming out the back of the building, and links into the central gutters/drainage pipe. This pipe is leaking down the out side of the building and into a shop below my flat. Who is responsible for the cost of fixing this? If it was the guttering that all the flats used I have no problem paying my share to have the repairs done. However as it is a waste pipe coming out a specific flat I feel that it i should be the owner of that flats responsibility. If anyone could help with some advice about who would be best to contact regarding this, or has been in a similar situation, I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

Carryon Regardless Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I would contact the freeholder to at least manage the situation. After a very short period of opportunity I would then contact the Environmental Health of the local council passing on the freeholder details.

Richlist Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 COR is correct, you should contact your freeholder or his managing agents......whoever you pay your service charges to. The leaking pipe sounds to me to be either: 1. The overflow from a cold water tank or toilet cistern. OR 2. The vent pipe from a condensing boiler.
