I know the flats there are very popular and sell very quickly, and I don't think that everyone who buys them can be careless over looking into the freeholders and problems therewith.

I feel that your friends experience has scared you somewhat regarding these issues. Look on hoopla about the sales background of the place you are thinking of buying, if the flat has changed hands many times in a few years ask why this is.

Taymount grange Has recently had lots of work done and looks immaculate (as do their communal gardens)

Look on The Modern House estate agents they have flats come up there, its a beautiful block. Also post on the SE23 Forum and ask feedback from residents old and new. There is another art deco block at the top of taymount rise which has cheaper apartments but the block looks poorly maintained.
