@dogtemple - Have a read of the party wall act (google the explanatory booklet). I believe that the roof between you would be treated as a party structure and as such you have entitlement to not be leaked on. The act provides the mechanism for maintaining the structures between two flats - whether it's a wall, roof or separating floor. A party wall surveyor will be able to advise further!

I hope this is the right place to ask, just need some advice. My lounge ceiling is the balcony to the flat above. It's in a poor state so when it rains it leaks in to my lounge.
The lady with the balcony is being difficult. Who's responsible for this? I'm looking at paying half for getting it sealed up, but she wants a whole new balcony and thinks I should pay half. £900 sealing vs £15k for a whole new balcony.
Ideally she would pay for it being sealed due to her neglect and if she wants a new balcony she should pay for that as its her balcony and note to do with me.
Any advice please? Thanks
