Hi Guys. Hoping someone can point me in the right direction please. I looked at an existing set-up where a section of a large house has been split into 2 flats for rental, one above the other. Currently a sub-main feeds from the main house to the bottom flat where there is a consumer unit feeding both flats. The idea is to split this up so that each flat has it's own CU and sub-meter. Looking at the labelling on the CU the 2 flats individual socket and light circuits etc are wired separate so potentially just a case of re-routing a few cables and maybe extending. They are hoping that in the future they may get a new metered supply put in so that it could be sold on it's own at a later date.
My question is services wise who owns the ceiling void, i am presuming it is the flat below. Currently i am also presuming that the socket circuit for the above flat and probably other wiring for it is also in this same void. I think this is a problem for future isolation purposes if the wiring is to be split over new CU's and the circuits will need rewiring ?
Ant thoughts please.
Gary
