Can I throw in a question here please. We have an apartment above us and the owner has laid timber flooring. They did get permission of the EC. She is very quiet and we are not experiencing any problems. What happens if she sells the property and with the next owner we suffer a lot of noise in our apartment from above. Who is responsible? The owner who laid the timber is now gone – is the new owner now responsible for the replacement of the timber should it be necessary?
