maybe it would be worth proposing to your solicitors that they draw up the contract that the seller's solicitors are supposed to produce, with the amendments as everyone wants them. it could save everyone some time The mere suggestion is likely to horrify both sets of solicitors, possibly enough for them to be a little more proactive.
the problem with one flat not being a shareholder in the management company could be circumvented by the managementcompany that owns the freehold charging them a monthly fee for common area maintenance, and an additional rental for the share of the ground they are taking up until such time as they 'purchase' their share of the management company. I'm assuming how much they pay in management fees and how much they pay for a share of the freehold is not yet determined as per the original contracts you were looking at before amendments.
making suggestions to the solicitors of things that are perfectly feasible, but just aren't the way things are 'done' sends shivers up their spines, and somehow leads to things getting done in the traditional manner quite quickly ... you would not believe how quickly we had a set of searches come back after I said 'give me the forms and i will go to the council offices and take care of it'
