Hi,
I purchased an apartment with attic above which according to the deeds is the property of the managment company, the access is via my apartment, i looked up the in attic yesterday to discover rat dropping all over the attic and the insultion (100mm) seems to be rotten in places (Rat urine possibly), the insulation is 14 years and according to the surveyors report needs to be replaced, there is also water damage on the plaster board in my sitting room which seems to have orginated from the attic, the question is who is responsible for bearing these costs, myself or the managemnt company who owns the attic. I should also not that there is no cover on the cold water tank.
