If you close the stopcock does it stop? If not your plumber might be right

If you have a copy of the Seller Property Information Form, or can get hold of it, check to see if the leak was mentioned, if not get on to the sellers solicitor for a forwarding address to send the bill to the previous owner.
Potentially you could get the cost covered if the issue was misrepresented by the seller.

Completed on a house move on Monday, immediately noticed a hissing sound on the pipework around the interior stopcock. Plumber's conclusion - a leak on the main on the way in to the house. Heard from the neighbour (on a shared exterior stopcock) that the previous owners had been investigating a problem in January. Bit pissed off to be honest!
