All,

May I suggest in the first instance it should be agreed by the OC and lot owner to engage the OC’s plumber to investigate if there is a leaking or burst pipe in the wall or if the waterproofing of the wall needs attention.

Keep in mind if this is caused by leaking taps inside the wall then this would be the lot owners responsibility. If the waterproofing has failed or was non existent (older buildings were not always built with ‘shower trays’) then this needs to be considered on two parts, the internal wall is the lot owners responsibility, while the floor and an external wall is OC’s responsibility.

If there is a burst or leaking pipe inside the wall this could be claimable on the OC’s insurances, excess dependent.

Hope this helps add clarity
