Drainage advice just in case.

[Drip problem]

Hello,
Was just after some advice, I have no manhole cover on my property it is semi detached and so is my next door neighbour.
I have looked on my house deeds and drainage search etc no sign of a manhole.
But my next door neighbour has a square manhole in their backyard, would I be sharing the same sewer?
Just wondered in case I ever have to unblock the drains, never had a problem yet.

Very likely especially on older property.

The house I live in is 40's or late 30's council build so is next doors semi detached.

It is highly likely you are on a shared sewer . Kop

This is good news for you and neighbour as when it blocks then your utility are obliged to turn up and do away with the business/blockage

Well that is a good thing then. Was just thinking surely manhole would show up on the house deeds or water drainage survey map everyone gets regarding the property. Otherwise would that not cause issues if a property was sold, and even then how would anyone know if a manhole has been built over or covered. Well at least I know now I share my neighbours sewer.
