Buyer has pulled out:

"Their solicitor has informed them that they will be responsible for the maintenance of the exterior of the property (which is normal when being the freeholder) and they have told me that they don't have time for those kinds of responsibilities”

What did you expect for a freehold-fucking-flat?

A working management co. that sorts that shit out for them?

Are they confusing the word 'responsible' with 'responsible for paying for' or do they genuinely have to get up on a ladder and DIY it because there's nothing else in place?

Is yours genuinely some kind of weird freehold flat, or is it share of freehold and each flat is granted a lease?

I own the freehold of the whole building (detached house split into 2 converted flats), there's a lease on the upstairs flat. We split maintenance and buildings insurance 50/50 as per their lease.
