Hi,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum for my query please move if it is not. We have a 5 year old apartment that has been nothing but trouble since we got it (flooded 3 times in the kitchen from a flat roof above) that the builder had fixed each time. they then went to the wall. The management company have got the flat roof above us fixed (this belongs to the property thats above us) finally.
We recently noticed a dip in the hallway of the apartment (we are above another apartment, mixed blocks of 1, 2 and 3 bed properties). We just got the flooring taken up today and the boards/structure underneath is rotten (obviuosly soaked) there has been pipes found that dont run anywhere etc, so we now need to find out what has gone wrong/where and get it fixed.
My query is, what should we do. This is clearly structural and the water is coming into our apartment from somewhere burst pipe or collapsed pipe underneath?), will this obviously be against the block insurance? and management company to sort this? what do we do next? Waiting to hear back from management company called them, didn't return call yet.
any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
