We're the landlord. But soon to be moving back into the property.
Good to know about the shared liabilty. Do all of the owner's insurance companies usually just get together to sort this out? Or do you put in a claim once it's all wrapped up?
I'm not sure how the insurance will work - i would hazard a guess to put in a claim after wards
The first letter (which I've just been fwd), advises to get an independent contractor to do it to avoid "admin" fees. Are you saying you think Water Co should be identifying where the leak is?
well it would of been handy to know (sometimes the inspector cant locate it for whatever reasons) - effectively this just means your looking for a needle in a haystack and will have either have dig a few holes or the length of the pipe across the houses to find the leak
musa-
Cheers.
Current insurance has advised an inspection from their contractor. No issues with overlapping of delay of us finding out. But if the pipes have died of old age then we won't be covered :(
Agh! The whole saga is such a fucking PITA and bound to stress out Mr. H. who constantly thinks we made a mistake buying the property.

Good question. I assumed everything was external under the back terraces, hence it being on the shared supply pipe. FWIW houses No. 1 - 5 is a row of semi-detached houses.
