    Can I add a query / thought?

    What wall are we talking about? What wall is the valve in or on? 

    Is the pipe and/or valve BODY inside the wall itself (ie actually inside the WALL – possibly a common property all – and not actually inside the lot)? 

    Or is the whole of the valve (and possibly some or all of the pipework either side of the valve body) visible and physically within the lot?

    For instance, there are many cases were the valve body is inside the wall with only the valve stem and handle sticking out of the wall, and to get at and fix / replace the valve you would then have to chip away concrete or brickwork etc etc.

    So, to my way of thinking, the problem would be with “the inner workings” of the valve and so, depending on which wall it is, the precise location of the valve body (surface-mounted or encased) could potentially make it an OC issue?
