If you have a share of freehold then you'll all also have leases with the freehold for your individual flats. I'm not much help beyond that though.

yes, I think that's right. we have a deed of co-ownership which I am now reading for the first time in many years.
it says we can appoint a solicitor for mediation and, if that doesn't work, any of us can go to court "for a decision pursuant to section 14 of the trusts of land and appointment of trustees act 1996".
presumably that court is something very expensive that I'd want to avoid? does it have power to make decisions on any matter? could it appoint a management company if one or more of the owners wanted it?

We own a flat in a converted London terrace house with a share of the freehold. There are 2 other flats who also have a share (we have 50%). We have been having a problem getting any maintenance done on the building because one of the other owners keeps coming up with delaying and blocking tactics. I think it's just because he is skint.
There's a piece of work that we had all agreed to do but now it is time to start he has started delaying. Ourselves and the other normal flat are fed up and have decided to just go ahead and do the work ourselves and the other normal flat sent an agro email to that effect at the weekend.
It's all kicking off over email now and, amongst other nonsense, the delayer is threatening us with a tribunal for not maintaining the building (extreme lack of self awareness!). My question is - what sort of tribunal could he actually take us to? I thought tribunals were only for leasehold.
