Any Advice Welcome - Management Company holding up house purchase for 2 months now!

Hi all,
Any advice or similar experiences shared would be hugely grateful.
My partner and I are in the process of buying our first home.
We are almost at the finish line bar one outstanding query which has been chased by our solicitors to the sellers solicitors for 2 months now.
The property is leasehold and communal areas are managed by a management company, and we are chasing up the insurance schedule from them.
Our solicitors have repeatedly chased for this insurance schedule as it wasn't present in the management pack that the management company provided initially.
I have spoken to the management company direct and they claim that this insurance schedule should come from the developer.
Speaking to the developer, they claim it should come from the management company!
But the management company again claimed they do not have it, and that the property 'is in the middle' of a handover to them so do not yet have the insurance schedule.
So we're now at a loss and starting to consider pulling out, which is a shame because it is out dream home. We should have moved in by Christmas as promised by our estate agent, but this one single document is holding up the whole process, our solicitors wont progress without it.
Just seeing if anyone else has had a similar issue with their house purchase, and if so how did it get resolved?
Or if anyone has any advice for me, who I can escalate this to, etc. that would be great.
Thank you
