Hello. New here.
Bought a house last summer.
Found some damp we think is being caused by the chimney stack. It's not in good shape.
There's also a crack on the outside wall below the stack. So could be that causing the damp.
I have an end terrace house, which is step up from next door.
The chimney stack itself, sits fully on my roof, but it 100% doesn't and hasn't served my house. All fireplaces for my property are the other side of house and have their own chimney there.
There is nothing mentioned in the deeds about the chimney and who owns it or is responsible for it.
As far as I'm aware, next door have had new heating system in and don't actually use the chimney anymore.
Does anyone know if the chimney is their responsibility or shared or how I would find out?
Also... the wall below the chimney ... would that be classed as the chimney wall and possibly also be their responsibility or?
Thank you
