We are staying now for two years at the place. In these two years the wall on the other side of shower and Linen cupboard are constantly wet. Either the tiles were laid down without waterproofing. We just suspect a quick fix was done before we moved in. We would want to find out where the leakage is. And how much to fix or to put in a bath in the place of the shower.

There's an electrical fault in our home in regards to heating electrical appliances like (i.e. 2 hotplate stove, microwave, kettle) that get damaged when plugged in 3 specific wall sockets on the kitchen walls. This normally happens 4 months after the purchasing of the appliances.The 4th wall socket in the kitchen isn't giving any problems as it is used to plug the refrigerator only. All other appliances utilized in other rooms in the house don't get damaged as well as the heater which is frequently plugged in the lounge area.
