I would seek legal advice from a solicitor asap.
Check your buildings insurance, as it is a property with others connected to it, it should have cover for damaged caused to them by yours.
If you are paying �14,000 a year for maintenance - it sounds like the Freeholder should be responsible for at least some maintenance. However, exactly what he is responsible for will be set out in the terms of your Lease - this may not include plumbing etc.

It does sound like your Freeholder is trying to pull a fast one by seeking posession after such a short time. Have you not received any request or notice to carry out remedial works?

You need to get a copy of your Lease, and, as meglet says, get some legal advice from a solicitor. Best of luck.
