[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 391279, member: 6969"] It's all very confusing. So there were three flats. One is yours, the other two were owned by someone else. The other 2 were owned by the same person and converted into one flat. So can we assume in that process one of the electricity meters in the common cupboard was removed? and the TWO consumer units for the (now larger) flat connected to just one meter. Or has it gone further than that, and the two separate consumer units were replaced by one for that now enlarged flat? Either way it seems all the cables from the consumer units to the individual flats pass through a common inter floor void. My reading of the description is you are going to need access to the other flat and floorboards up to see the wiring. First thing to do is to turn and unplug absolutely everything in your flat for a period, ideally a whole day. Read your meter at the start and end and see if it has incremented or not during the test. If it has, then your suspicions are probably right. You are going to need the cooperation of the other flat to sort it out though, and then proving it was deliberate rather than a genuine mistake is almost impossible. [/QUOTE]
