buildings insurance
If this is the issue you may be in luck because you do have specific rights for information about insurance (except getting them to disclose kickbacks). Perhaps raise specific insurance queries as well?

Mmmm I've asked our solicitors, along with whether the phone call they received offered any indication as to why they don't want to sign the paperwork and also why they would instruct external counsel suddenly. Even if theyre on retainer (the bloke is a real estate partner at his firm) it doesnt make much sense to me

More insurance cagey-ness, apparently as its a multi-cover policy theyre refusing to disclose it as it includes details of other properties they are responsible for. I guess its a new policy since the takeover, which would at least mean we've not yet paid anything for it and so my earlier speculation cannot be true.
The request to sign and date the forms theyve already sent over has been refused again, on grounds of 'not obliged to do so'. This is going to be really fun.

The parent company has only recently bought the place, and perhaps didnt do any due diligence over the freehold responsibilities. There's been a couple of cagey hold ups along the way surrounding the buildings insurance. Its speculation but I wouldnt be surprised if the fund for the two flats they have the freehold for (us and upstairs) has been paying for the buildings insurance entirely, rather than 2/3 share.
