Agree. And bear in mind that things like Right To Manage - where you take over management of the block from the current MAs if you feel like you're not getting value for money - are getting easier and simpler all the time. You can also extend your lease to rid yourself of ground rent. Flats are harder to sell than houses, because there's a third party involved, but you can still sell them, and for more than you'd get simply with a returned deposit on an AST.
Ymmv of course but for me leasehold was my route out of renting and despite all the headaches I've had I would never go back.
