Good point about the slope. A closer look at the exterior photo that shows the slope also shows the amount of felt foldover,


That's not felt but the lead flashing that the OP said had been fitted
later (?)


OK. I'm going to assume they didn't fix boarding to the concrete slab, if it exists, since it would be unnecessary and difficult. But the wood cladding extends too close ot the top for there to be any space for a concrete slab. There's really only room there for plywood, felt & paviours. Also the difficulty of pouring a sloped slab - it's not impossible but I don't remember ever seeing it done, as it's difficult.


I too missed the slope in the photo. The OP would get most of the water.
If the neighbour has similar problems with damp on on the underside of
the roof on his side of the structure it suggests the roof underneath
the brick paving is leaking


which is bound to occur given the load on it. OK for parking bicycles on I guess, not cars.
