Could someone clarify what the position is in regards to a claim on house insurance,in the following scenario?
Mothers house is a semi detached.
The gutter from the house next door comes across onto her side of the her house.
This gutter is constantly leaking and is causing damp on the walls internal and extenal and will cause issues with the window nearest it as it is constantly being soaked,and issues with wires etc.
Can she claim for damage from her own insurance ,bearing in mind the leak is the neighbours gutter,but is in fact on her side,or would it be the case that she must claim from the neighbours house insurance?
