we have a share of freehold, us being upstairs in a VC - the downstairs neighbour has been reliably informed by our neighbour alongside us that she has detected signs of subsidence. hardly surprising considering the age of the property. As far as i understand it, yer man downstairs is responsible for downstairs-y goings on and we are responsible for upstairs-y goings on, like the roof. In the event of structural work needing to be performed, am i correct in my understanding that we are not liable for any costs incurred should this require any immediate attention, or am i being laughably naive?
I'm the upstairs flat in a victorian conversion. My lease has me responsbile for everything from the top of the ground floor upwards (which is an arse as I need a new roof).
