Plumber / Plumbers / Plumbing - Show us your pipes

Hi all,

I live in a Basement / Garden flat of a victorian conversion. I just noticed one of the external pipes is leaking water - might be a worn pipe joint? - it appears to be fresh water (no colour/no smell) however it is leaking when one of the flats above drains something. It's not a continual leak, just when the water is drained or flushed or ??

Who is responsible to fix this? I own the flat and the leaking pipe joint is on the external wall of the basement flat, however, am a Leaseholder - is any of this responsibility part of the upper flat owners or owner of the lease?

Thanks

Sounds like a wastewater pipe.

Look in your leasehold to see what is stipulated.

My leasehold states repair costs are joint responsibility of all leaseholders to be agreed on a case by case basis.
