Is the property liable for compensation if the external wall of the house leaks water?

Legal analysis: Whether the property with leaking external walls is liable for compensation depends on the situation: 1. If the building has passed the warranty period and the cause of water leakage is the aging of the building, the property company will use the public maintenance fund for maintenance; 2. But if the building is still in the warranty period, the developer will be responsible for the maintenance and compensate the owner for the losses; 3. If the external wall is damaged or leaked due to personal reasons, the damaged person shall be responsible for the maintenance and compensate the owner for the losses.

Legal basis: Article 28 of the Regulations on Property Management. When undertaking the property, the realty service enterprise shall check the parts and facilities of the property.
