leanne04

i have just recently moved into my new house and my next door neighbour has informed me about a drainage problem that needs to be sorted otherwise environmental health will be involved.but this was an on going problem before we moved into the house so i dont no where we stand and we also cant claim on our insurance as it doesnt cover it.my partner is a builder so would he be able to change the pipes himself,i just dont no where we stand.thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

Is it rented or have you bought?

If rented, it is the landlord's problem.

If you bought then see your solicitor. Those selling must declare any known problems. The previous owner will have to pay for the repair.
