The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against European Real Estate Company Limited on 24 June 2026, placing the Coventry-registered property management firm into compulsory liquidation. A winding-up order ends a company's existence through a court process and its assets are realised for creditors.
The case is numbered 003348 of 2026. A petition was filed on 1 May 2026, and the order took effect the same day it was made, with the Official Receiver appointed liquidator immediately.
The liquidator
S Brindley of the Official Receiver's office is the appointed liquidator. The Official Receiver is a civil servant of the Insolvency Service who takes office as liquidator automatically on most winding-up orders of this kind. Brindley's office is based in Birmingham. Enquiries can be directed to the Insolvency Service's liquidation team by email at Enquiries.Liquidation@insolvency.gov.uk or by telephone on 0300 678 0016.
The company
European Real Estate Company Limited was incorporated on 2 March 2015 and operated under SIC code 68320, which covers the management of real estate on a fee or contract basis. Its registered office at the time of the order was listed as Erec Estates, 8th Floor Eaton House, 1 Eaton Road, Coventry, CV1 2FJ. No secured charges are registered against the company at Companies House.
Officers at the time of the order
Three directors held office at the date of the winding-up order: Weipeng Gu, appointed on 2 March 2015; Chengrun He, appointed on 28 September 2015; and Rui Pan, appointed on 18 September 2015. Pan had also held a separate directorship from the company's incorporation date in March 2015, which ended on 30 August 2015, before the current appointment began.
Several other officers resigned earlier in the company's history. Tian Li and Yixuan Xin both served as directors from 28 September 2015 until 28 February 2016. Zhuoying Pan served as company secretary from 28 February 2016 until 23 November 2016. Hanxiao Xie held the secretary role from incorporation until 1 August 2015.
Background
The company's last filed accounts at Companies House were made up to 31 March 2025, submitted as total-exemption-full accounts. The next accounts would ordinarily have been due by 31 December 2026, though the winding-up order means the company will not file further returns in the normal course.

Did you work at European Real Estate Company Limited?
On a winding-up order, employees are usually dismissed immediately. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The Official Receiver will provide RP1 case-reference numbers and the date of insolvency you need to start the claim. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from European Real Estate Company 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.
Are you a director of a company connected to European Real Estate Company Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the winding-up order is made. If you intend to be involved in another company using the same or a similar name within five years, you must rely on one of the three statutory exceptions. The Official Receiver also has a statutory duty to investigate director conduct and report under the Company Directors Disqualification Act 1986.
