Thanks mc2fool. What can my solicitor do except that I will end up owing a more legal fee, which I can’t really afford? I don’t wish to do thing just for my ego although I do feel being bullied.
Your solicitor can very likely do what you have singularly failed to, which is to get the management company to accept that the issue is one of the building and hence a communal matter that has to be dealt with. I.e. get the others to stop ignoring you and fix the problem.
It's been obvious right from the start that this is much more a legal responsibility problem than a plumbing one -- after all, this is the Legal Issues board that you've posted on -- and the plumbers you keep on getting in can't force the legal responsibility, that's what solicitors do.
Of course, you could skip the solicitors and take the company directly to court yourself. Are you prepared to do that?
Or you can just carry on being ignored.
