Freeholder delaying Leasehold Management pack

I'm in the process of selling my maisonette and things have been progressing well. The property is a leasehold and one of the requirements is to provide a leasehold management pack from the freeholder/management company. 
I paid the fee for the management pack to the solicitor of the freeholder two months ago and since then we have been waiting for it. I tried multiple ways to get this moving - chasing directly, via my solicitor, via the freeholder's solicitor, via the estate agent, etc but things are at a standstill and the freeholder has provided no timescales for completing it.
To be clear, the freeholder is alive and well, and fully accessible. The buyer is a FTB and getting twitchy now. Two months is a long wait when everything else is already done.
Is there a way to expedite this?
Thanks.

    Perhaps the best option is for you to phone the freeholder and find out what is happening.

    Is the freeholder (or their management co) a large professional company, or is it an "amateur" individual?

    Unfortunately there's nothing you can do other than ask politely. There's no legal obligation for the freeholder to provide the information (although as they've accepted payment they now have a duty to provide you with what you have paid for).

    2 months to be waiting for a management pack does appear to be a long time.
    They're your management company, so I would get on the phone to them and find out what the hold up is.
