It sounds like the management pack refers to both leasehold and freehold properties but is not differentiating between the two.

Yes sounds like

a) a generic management pack and

b) a lazy coveyyacer who has not put 2 & 2 together to identify what applies to you and what does not.

I think your suspicions are going to be correct. I looks like a generic pack, and I’ve instructed the conveyancer to obtain the correct one.

Ive also just been told the property used to be shared ownership, which is why there was a lease and restrictions about subletting. 

Now the property is freehold I gather (hoping) that it will turn out this stress about subletting is all for nothing 

If there isn't a lease (which there isn't if it's freehold), then you aren't a tenant, and couldn't 'sublet' even if you wanted to! 

However, if you have a mortgage then your lender may have rules about renting out, and you need to check this.

Good luck!
