This is the advice guide for flats. https://www.lease-advice.org/advice-guide/ce-getting-started/
I'd have thought you would be eligible - as far as I know everyone is eligible - but I've rightly had my knuckles rapped by @danstuff for speaking at too high a level about what is an extremely complex area of law, so I'll probably leave anything more detailed to your own investigations.
I'd once again recommend Mari and Amanda though - both fantastic - or making an appointment with LEASE https://clients.lease-advice.org/Appointment/Appointment?isFireSafety=False to discuss your options. It's free.
This is interesting.. i live in a small block of 3 flats all privately owned, leaseholder is southwark council, its on the edge of a bigger estate where there is much a mixture of social and private owned housing, and much bigger flat blocks.
would we be eligible to buy the freehold of our block? two of the 3 are very easily extendable but the council have refused permission (the guy at the other side has tried apparently)
