Wouldn't the risk here be that someone buys the flats and the freehold from the administrator of the bankrupt freehold company?

Thanks, I'll see what the solicitor says and go from there. I've emailed the Leaseholder I know and suggested he also seeks advice and thinks about potentially trying to get the Freehold.
Once I know a bit more I might tap you up for a pint to talk about potential pit falls if you have time, I get the feeling this process is going to have an even higher density of dickheads trying to fuck me at every opportunity than dealing with estate agent and buying the place was.

RTM requires 50% of the leaseholders to sign up, not the 2/3rds, I do'nt know if that helps. But I'm not sure if RTM applies to a Freeholder going under.
What I will say is that even if those flats are owned by the original Freeholder, they'll be well aware of the dangers here, so it's worth asking the person behind the Freehold to see if they're willing to join.
Good shout on the lawyer. This is a complex situation.
