Thank you!
Any advise from anyone regarding the rogue management company/freeholder (both the same person)?
We wouldn't really want to take this all on by ourselves and be liable for maintenance and communal bills but I think this would also effect the sale price so looking for a silver lining somewhere...
I'm not all that familiar with the leasehold/freehold set up you've got in England. However, I think they have certain legal obligation with regards to buildings insurance and repairs since you have a lease with them or something. This Shelter link might be useful:

What about the other 4 leaseholders in the block? Maybe you could all get together to sort the freeholder out and possible buy the freehold yourselves.0 -
May I suggest that you also ring Business Debtline and have a free and impartial chat with them about your situation.
