I see. I am not sure how that works in case of an absentee freeholder, or just an unresponsive one.
regarding the works themselves, your lease will say that your forbidden to do structural works,etc. or that you need to get permission for any non-structural ones. Leases written in the past are a bit funny and unsuspecting current technology and con
But you just have to think about it in terms of coverage if issues occur down the line. ( subsidience, noise, etc. ). For example, if my flat was sinking due to a another leaseholder non-approved works, if someone installed some parquet while the lease doesn't allow it, i would be in my right to ask for the owner to revert to previous state.
If you buy a flat where the leasehold plan doesn't match the current state, those problems are on you. On the positive side, if things are done properly, it is somehow an asset in case of resale.

Easy in difficulty, expensive in money and time, as Usually this can only be done via respective sollicitors.
The mangement company should be able to guide you. This will demand effort from them which is unsual, so be firm and patient.
