I live in a 3 storey block of flats, I'm on the ground floor. We have problems with damp on the communal walls that is on the other side of my bedroom wall.
I'm led to believe that there was a flood in the flats quite some years ago and that all that was done was the carpets were dried out. I'm also led to believe that the flats have not had damp proofing.
I've just been told today that despite numerous attempts by my fellow residents to have the problem sorted, nothing has happened.
Is it true that if the problem cannot be rectfied, the property can be condemned? On the basis that was true and the place was condemned, what are the rules regarding compensation? I obviously don't want to lose money on my property. I was told that if that happened, I would receive the current value of my property, plus compensation.
Is this all rubbish or have I been told the truth?
Thanks
