The leak is coming from somewhere above the concrete slab that forms the floor of the ground floor.
It would seem to be coming from a retail unit that is part of the block- a Nisa Local.
However the owner of the Nisa says that it is not his store, so he will not pay for whatever needs to be done to rectify the situation.
To be fair I see his point as the leak only happens after heavy rain, suggesting that it is a fault with the original builders- the block is just over 2 years old.
The management company (seperate entity) are blaming Nisa, and saying that we as residents should hire cars and then charge them to Nisa (the leak has blown the car lifts electrics, trapping all the cars in the garage).
Now the problem is that we can hire a car- £700 deposit, then £100 a day, and then charge it too Nisa, but they will not pay it as they say that it is not them.
So I could really do with a surveyor who can say, with authority, "the water is coming from there", so that I can get someone to take responsibility for this.
This would not be so important to me if I did not need my car to pick family members up from the airport and then drive everyone to a funeral next week, however I do so it is!
