My upstairs neighbour's washing machine has a leak in it. I discovered this last week when a bulge appeared in my kitchen ceiling. When we pierced it (carefully), water gushed out. Obviously we have told the neighbour, taped up the leaking pipe and told them to get it fixed. But they are - well, to be honest they are nice but dim and also skint, and I can't see them getting it fixed anytime soon.
I will be contacting our factor, who organises our building insurance, to see where we stand. But I wondered if anyone else has had a similar experience - can you force neighbours to get things fixed if they are risking damaging your property?
