The leases do have that... but we don't possess keys for each others flat, and whilst we've both freely provided access to date, the fact that they are now a few hundred miles away and we are in lockdown is the complexity here. They thought they'd be back for Christmas but were caught out and didn't want to return to a tier 4 area.
There are no keys under a doormat.

I would expect your respective leases / titles to each contain a right of access onto the other’s property for the purpose of maintaining one’s own.
So you could just ask if they have a spare key.
If you have really nice neighbours you could each swap keys anyway, in case they get a burst pipe or something.
