Over flow pipe leak
So I own a first floor flat and each flat has our own water tank, the flat below mine has a large wet/damp patch on their wall around their tank over flow pipe, they informed me that the plumber could not find any issue with their water tank and that they could see it was coming from my overflow pipe, I had a plumber over straight after that who repaired the ball cock, but about a week later I notice the wall was wet again and it looked like drops of water were coming out of their overflow, I’ve had my plumber back again who checked my area thoroughly including my bathroom and said there were no issues in my flat and he said if it was ever my overflow pipe then my wall would have been wet too which it isn’t. We’ve had a lot of rain over the last couple of weeks too so would this be keeping the wall wet, it looks really bad and the wall is starting to go black but I don’t know what else to do?

All the lights on the control panel of my Indesit washing machine are flashing and the machine won’t work. It’s only two years old?

Where is the condensate pipe
Where would a condensate pipe be installed? Does it depend on the property? If I think I've found mine, how can I be sure?
