Property Clinic: I can hear showers, dishwashers and so on, but no other noises from the apartment

Noises from running water: Is this par for the course or an issue worth pursuing with the management company? Photograph: iStockI have purchased and just moved into a ground-floor apartment which was built in 2007. As I’ve rented/shared houses for a long time and have just been here a few weeks, this might seem like a silly question.

The ability to hear sound from outside your property is likely due to poor construction standards, and your owners’ management company should investigate this with a suitably qualified person. Water facilities in apartment blocks drain from apartments into service shafts that run internally, whereas in houses they drain externally. This means activities in other properties can be more easily heard as water pipe services are located closer to inhabited spaces.

It is of course open to you to revert to your OMC to seek clarification on any matter relating to your development.
