Can anyone help/advise?
I live in a terraced house and I have recently noticed some damp in my bedroom on one of the walls. I have gone up into the loft with a friend of the family and found that the damp is below/next to next doors chimney (which is not in use). The chimney seems to be leaking and it looks as if a lack of soakers is causing the problem (possibly flashing as well).
I am unsure as to whether the responsibility of fixing this would fall to myself or my next door neighbour/the landlord? The house next door is split into two flats and is rented out.
How do I determine who responsibility should fall to, what should I be checking for with regards to what wall/skin the chimney is against etc? I'd like to know as much as I can before I contact my neighbour.
Thanks
