Hello.
I own a flat in a small block of flats and there is an issue with one of the other flats overflow pipe (from the cistern) which is constantly dripping.
The flat is question is owned by an absent landlord who seems only interested in getting their monthly rent and not keeping the flat in good condition.
We (the freeholders) have continually asked the owner to fix dripping pipe. it has been going on for months and we are worried that if not fixed it could start leading to permanent damage.
The response is always 'I will look into it' but nothing ever happens.
The owner will not allows us access to fix the problem but is not fixing the problem themselves either.
I have thought that maybe the overflow pipe could be extended into a drain a meter or so away (at least the drip will be in the drain and not on the ground).
The pics show the problem and the drain of where it could be extended to
The overflow pipe is 2CM in diameter.
Can the pipe be modified/extended from the outside so it leads into the drain without the need to enter the property?
