We live in a semi detached out and so share a roof with our neighbour. It looks like their roof is leaking and its leaking into our house, is there a law that says he must get it fixed because he is causing damage to our side?

Its quite puzzling to me that its leaking into your room
when you are both living under one roof. I suggest
you have a nice talk with your neighbour and maybe
share the cost of fixing instead of blaming him for the
leak.

claim your building insurance and if its your neighbours problem then your insurer will contact your neighbours insurer you say it looks like your neighbours roof have you checked it out water has many ways of getting in try talking to your neighbour it might just be a simple problem like a build up of dirt in a gutter everyone has to do some maintenance on their home

My friend has had this problem with his neighbour. He's spoken to him many times but the guy did nothing so he's just going to fix it himself. Think you need to speak to a solicitor about this - sorry !

You may need to check your deeds or papers from when you purchased the house. Also check your insurance policy and speak to you neighbour about the problem. Good luck - hope you get it sorted out.

i think of that your neighbours homes coverage could conceal the maintenance to their roof, yet your very own contents coverage could conceal any inner injury. In any journey there isn't any factor mending internals till the externals are taken care of. Your neighbour could desire to be reminded of the reality the plumber who put in her boiler could, by regulation, have public criminal duty insurance which might conceal injury to the two residences

Yes there is a law to protect you from such an event. But better still, to make good relationships happen, offer to help him fix it. If he says no, then report the b*****d!

Just talk to your insurance, they might have a look at it fix it and then charge his insurance with no mark on yours.
