The Business and Property Courts in Manchester issued a winding-up order against Havenpoint Properties Ltd on 23 June 2026, placing the Bolton property letting company into compulsory liquidation under eleven months after it was incorporated.
A winding-up order is a court order that places a company into compulsory liquidation, ending its existence as a trading entity and vesting its assets in a liquidator for distribution to creditors. Havenpoint was incorporated on 24 July 2025 and registered at 38 Bridge Street, Bolton, BL1 2EH. Its sole registered activity was letting and operating of own or leased real estate, classified under SIC code 68209.
The petition and order
The petition that triggered the court process was filed on 27 April 2026, under case number 000646 of 2026. The winding-up order followed on 23 June 2026, less than two months after the petition was lodged.
The Official Receiver, a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders, was appointed on the same date as the order. The Official Receiver named in the Gazette notice is S Brindley, based at PO Box 18938, Birmingham, B2 2DY. Creditors and other interested parties can contact the Official Receiver's office by telephone on 0300 678 0016 or by email at Enquiries.Liquidation@insolvency.gov.uk.
The director
Salman Habib was appointed director of Havenpoint Properties Ltd on 24 July 2025, the date of incorporation. His appointment remained current at the time of the winding-up order, with no resignation recorded at Companies House.
Background
Havenpoint Properties Ltd had no prior trading names and no secured charges registered against it. Its first accounts were not due until April 2027, so no filed financial information was available before the winding-up order was made. The company was wound up before it had completed a full year of existence.

Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Havenpoint Properties Limited?
Customers rank as unsecured creditors in the liquidation. Where you paid by credit card and the amount was over £100, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 may let you claim from the card issuer for breach of contract or misrepresentation by the supplier; the rules apply per item, not per transaction, and the card must be a regulated credit card. Debit-card payments may be recoverable via chargeback.
