Ah ok, so I think I've gathered there's three flats. If this is the case, have you asked your solicitor why a management company is needed? Three is a perfectly manageable number to not bother with a management company and just meet up over a glass of vino every so often. I used to rent a place in Muswell Hill which was three flats in an old Edwardian house and that was how they did it, they never had any problems.
As you said yourself, you want a flat, you don't want to run a management company. The question I would be asking your solicitor is do you really have to? And if yes, why? Who says?
