Mr T and I are the proud owners of a fabulous apartment over 'ere............ spent my retirement lump sum on it!!! 100sq m , stunning views, swimming pool (admittedly shared but we don't have to clean it), 2 double bedrooms, fully fitted kitchen, lounge, dining room, bathroom, huge balcony from which we can watch stunning sunsets whilst sipping chilled wine.
We've had it 3 years and every winter the ****** ceiling leaks.
Each year it gets repaired.
Each next year it leaks somewhere else!!!
This year Mr T exploded = job is being done properly......... not just patches..... a whole new 6 inch thick concrete slab which is being sloped toward the 4 drains that still work.
Today water + dilute concrete was oozing from the immersion switch in next door's apartment! shocked003 (had BM's electric works reached that far???)
Any guesses what might happen next winter??? scared2:
we reckon the ceiling is now so heavy it will be the floor by next Christmas and we'll be ................
back in the UK!!! sad24:

You could always let BM loose on it, the way he's knocking holes in his place he could have the weight of the roof down to a safe level in no time whistle:
-
No more holes........................... please................. pretty please..... Banghead
-
Sorry to hear of your plight Tinks...
Have you sought advice about your legal rights in this situation - do you have to keep paying for these patch repairs as part of the service charges for the block ???
As it would seem like a license to scam money if that was the case.
-
No money worries on that front...we had it logged from the first time it happened... so it's down to the developer, who in all fairness has always paid for a repair... just not a proper one. It all came to a head this year and we went straight to the top....company MD..... and at considerable expense to his company (no doubt) it looks like a proper job is being done at last. Not only that, they are redecorating our apartment and putting a new floor in the bedroom (previous laminate got flooded and curled up)
Stupidly they admitted in an email that the original roofing contractors were shite!!!! eeek:
Hear we are to meet in May Miss D???? Much wine me thinks!! ;)
-
Looking forward to it very very much ...meeting you of course ...not the wine - I hardly drink happy001
