thanks for all the replies so far, been very helpful.

i have another query though, if indeed this lead pipe is not the
responsibility of the water supplier, should i replace it before
attemping to waterproof the room?

in case i sell the flat in the future, will this lead pipe make it
difficult for a buyer to get a mortgage on the flat?


I dont see how lead piping would affect the odds of you making
mortgage payments, nor their ability to sell the house should it prove
necessary.
