Roof leak due to neighbors

Questioner

For a year now I have been suffering from a leak on my flat roof. The wall of the neighbour is in bad condition. When the rain comes from the east, the water goes through the wall of the neighbour and the water runs behind the lead into me. For this I have already had a construction company come to investigate where the problem lies. According to the construction company it is actually due to the bad condition of the wall, neighbour. To date, nothing has been done by the neighbour to stop the leak despite me asking this in a friendly way as neighbours. Now I am afraid that the damage will only get worse because of the water. Also because of the electric wires that run there. I have tried it all this time in a good and friendly way. And I am a bit fed up with it. What is the best thing to do?

Lawyer

It is up to the neighbor to stop the leak and compensate for any consequential damage. If the neighbor fails to do something, then it is also the case that you will have the leak fixed at the neighbor's expense. Before all this happens, the neighbor must first be held liable with the necessary time to effect repair. With this I can assist you free of charge to resolve this issue.
