Hi Angel 13,

I am not so sure about how your apartment is getting flooded, ie, water coming in from roof/windows/doors or do you have a basement apartment which is getting flooded from the rainwater coming from above floors or the road?

If you have bought a newly built apartment, it must have come with some guaranties. You need to check your sale contract to see this. Usually the guarantee is for 5 or 10 years. So if you are within the 5-10 years, you would have a valid claim that the builder corrects the faults.
Your builder not answering your emails does not clear him from his duties.

yes it is a lower ground apartment and rain is coming in at ground level,like i said they tried to fix this last year but it hasnt worked, so where do i go next

You bought the property with a guarantee, so you should let the developer know that he will keep on fixing it until he does it probably.

You need a proper solicitor.

todays zaman have a free solicitor but he selects which questions he answers might be worth a try.
