The OP says "A solicitor has advised that the residents are liable for the outstanding debt", and there's nothing he has said that suggests the solicitor is wrong.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1

But there's also nothing the OP has said to suggest that the solicitor is right.
That's why I asked whose solicitor it was. For example, was it a contractor's solicitor (who might be taking a punt)?
FWIW, a solicitor once told me he was happy to write a letter to a freeholder saying they owed a leaseholder a debt that included thousands of pounds for distress and inconvenience.
But he also said that no court would ever uphold that debt.
