Estate management pack not being completed

I'm hoping to complete on the sale of my house very soon
However the buyers solicitor has asked for an estate management pack to be completed. Although the property is freehold, there is a management company involved and to whom we pay x amount monthly for general upkeep of the communal areas, car park etc.
It's a very small 'estate' with a handful of houses and we all pay equally although are not yet managing it ourselves
The problem is that it took six weeks for the management company to fill in the required pack and that they have not completed vital information including details of costs of works needing to be carried out which will cost extra for the new buyers.
I just know this extra information will not be forthcoming, I had to practically plead on the phone for it to be dome in the first place and very much doubt any finical records have been kept ( which are also being asked for by the buyers solicitor.
So my question to anyone in the know is am I stuffed?
I have googled with no success and have asked my own conveyancer but she has not responded.
Other sales have been completed in the past couple of years and did not require this estate management pack so it's clearly something that the management company have no experience of and have admitted that to me.
I have offered to pay whatever it costs for the work but I really can't see them doing it before my buyers get totally fed up and pull out of the sale which has now gone on for many months.
If the company don't answer the extra enquires am I then doomed to live here for the rest of my life?
I'd honestly be so grateful for anyone to give me some hope

mumsy I'm happy to pay the amount I was recently verbally told the work would cost so would be happy to pay a retention amount. However I can't give a blank cheque for work that could end up costing thousands more
I really just want the blooming management company to stop being so cagey and just fill in the form honestly.

@Iloveappleproducts I wonder if you did have a timely resolution to your above situation? I find myself in a similar one as we are selling our house which is on a pvt road, managed by a company. Been over 3 weeks since we've paid for and requested a management pack. I fear this could end up being a long stretched wait and hope the buyer doesn't get fed up waiting. Plus we would really like to move soon as possible. The only difference is, there are no agreed or pending works on the estate. Would appreciate your input, thanks :-)
