I'd certainly go with 2 or 3. If it's the property I'm assuming it is then there's going to be a hell of a lot of work being done.
If it were me, I'd probably go with number 3 but speak to the freeholder and the other leaseholder (if they're not the same person) and arrange for one surveyor (hopefully for the freeholder to sort out) to cover all of your building.
I've used a surveyor a few times who covers that area if you want a contact.
EDIT: I don't think I was quite clear there. You should consent but the freeholder should go for 3 for the whole building. The whole building will be covered by that award but you don't need individual awards for the flats.

Had a party wall notice issued from my new (as yet un-met) neighbours. Loft conversion and side return extension, but the latter is on the opposite side to me.
Been given three (presumbaly standard) ways to respond:
I've absolutely no objections to the work being done, but would it still make sense to go with option 2? This guarantees that a schedule of condition on my place will happen, even though it's by their surveyor.
Since I'm a leaseholder, from what I've read the freeholder (company rather than individual) is very unlikely to consent and will insist on using their own surveyor. Is there any point in contacting the freeholder before responding to find out if that's the case?
