Plenty of annoyances - landlord teaming up together, article of associations written by a company that we learned later one of the landlord is director of, ...
One instance in particular - we don't have a parking space but we have a cellar at the same level than 1 of the parking floor. Because there is no lock on the door that leads to the parking, the landlords with parking decided that it means we need to pay the charges for the parking and parking elevator (for which we don't have the keys). Obviously they declined the request to put a lock on the door. They can do it because they are the majority and the way the article of association were written. We could contest legally of course, or team up with other landlord to build a majority that would lead to the charges being split between all landlord regardless if they have a parking or not.
We are talking about 20 flats here, and frankly we would like to avoid the political drama.
Edit: Some info about the UK process. Here after we made the offer (not legally binding in the UK), we had the solicitor review the leasehold contract for such problems. There is always a freeholder that is responsible for crafting the leasehold unlike in Spain when the association of landlord is formed after ( for new build anyway ) and anyway, a side effect of the legally binding offer is that you are psychologically driven to minimise the impact of a solicitor report ( btw, the notary in Spain that deal with property purchase is there a lot more to validate the transaction rather than defending your interests, so they don't really highlight those kind of things as clearly as UK solicitor - of course there are good ones and bad ones YMMV)
