Repair in private rented flat

Invieible

Hi all, Iam not sure where to look for advice. 

Iam facing some issues with landlord where I occupy one room out of 3 (4 people) 1 bathroom, 3rdfloor ( between £800-£1100 per room) 

We noticed massive difference in hot water pressure in the kitchen tap.

We mentioned this to our landlord, and what he replied was that he don't see any issue because it's 3rd floor so this is normal. 

It's a fact that this explanation is a joke, but what is coming across from it is that he think all of us are delusional and before we didn't noticed this "common problem". 

Can someone advise what we can do now?

Is this an HMO?
Which country?

Clearly the flat is not fit for purpose I would keep chasing the landlord to get it sorted.

Just to clarify, the water from your kitchen tap is a reasonable temperature (40-55C) and constant (available 24 hrs)?

The one bathroom shared by the four of you, does it have wash hand basin, bath, shower? Is the hot water in the bathroom OK?

Get a letter/email sent to landlord, copy any agent, keep copies, from as many occupants as possible - herewith draft letter....

- or you could move elsewhere....

Paying a thousand a month for one room on the third floor, sharing a single bathroom with three others?

I also would be thinking about a move elsewhere.

Poor water pressure in the building

It can be normal. The kitchen tap will be supplied direct from the mains whereas its possible the upstairs bathroom is supplied from a water storage tank in the roof which is likely to give lower pressure. Also, unless there's a combi boiler, the hot water pressure will reduce on each floor going upwards towards the storage tank.
