    With a lease that long, you may well live in a commonhold leasehold property.
    Are the management Company appointed by a company jointly-owned by the residents, who, in turn, owns the freehold ?.
    If so, does your lease state that you own an equal share of that company ?.

    The good news is that if your lease says this:
    phatbear wrote: »
    "not to make any structural alterations or structural additions to the demised premises nor to erect any new buildings thereon or remove any of the landlords fixtures with out the consent in writing of the landlord"

    ...so the law says that the consent must not be unreasonably withheld.

    Similarly, the law says that any admin fee must be reasonable.

    But the trouble is..., some freeholders will see that you are keen to sell, so they will quote an unreasonably large admin fee, hoping that you will pay it rather than argue for months - and potentially lose your buyer.
