Freeholder responsibility question (cross posted to DIY as well)

We've already written to the freeholder to ask him these questions but haven't yet had a response (he was on holiday for 2 weeks but has been back for over a week now). My other half is chasing up the freeholder's company today.
This is the correct approach.So - we own the hallway (though the upstairs neighbour has right of passage as her front door is off the main hallway) - who would own the front door & the frame for the front door.
The freeholder owns the building, not you. You own a lease to your flat. As a leaseholder you have right of way in the 'common parts', eg the passage/front door.Should we be getting the problem repaired at our own cost and charging it back to the freeholders?
First approach the freeholder as you have done.If you get no response, then you and the neighbour could go ahead and get it fixed, letting the freeholder know you've done this.You will end up paying for it anyway.
It is well worth making the time to understand your lease.Trying to keep it simple...
