Peter Nicholas Wastell and William Turner of Verulam Advisory were appointed joint liquidators to Town & Country Edlesborough Limited on 10 June 2026, closing a property company incorporated less than a decade ago.
A creditors' voluntary liquidation, or CVL, is an insolvent winding-up resolved by a company's members at the directors' request, without a court order. Here the appointment was made by both members and creditors. The London Gazette carried the notice on 23 June 2026.
The company
Town & Country Edlesborough Limited was incorporated on 26 October 2016 and operated as a property company, classified under SIC code 68310 (real estate agencies). Its registered office at the time of the CVL was Verulam Advisory's premises at Second Floor, The Annexe, New Barnes Mill, Cottonmill Lane, St Albans, AL1 2HA. The company's own registered address on file at Companies House is 51 High Street, Redbourn, St Albans, AL3 7LW. Accounts were last made up to 31 March 2025.
The liquidators
Wastell holds IP number 9119 and Turner holds IP number 9049. An IP number is the licence identifier issued by an insolvency practitioner's recognised professional body. Both practise from Verulam Advisory's St Albans office at New Barnes Mill.
Joint liquidators are two or more insolvency practitioners appointed to act together. Their role is to realise the company's assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors. This differs from administration, where the officeholder's statutory duties can include pursuing a business rescue.
The officers
Mark James Bristow has been a director of Town & Country Edlesborough Limited since incorporation on 26 October 2016 and held that position at the time of the liquidation appointment. Michael Charles Saunders was also appointed as a director on incorporation but resigned on 21 September 2021 and was no longer an officer at the time of the CVL.
Secured charges
No secured charges are registered against Town & Country Edlesborough Limited at Companies House, so no secured creditors rank ahead of unsecured creditors in the distribution of any assets realised by the liquidators.
Common questions
Are you owed money by Town & Country Edlesborough Limited?
In a creditors' voluntary liquidation you are an unsecured creditor unless you hold a registered charge or retention of title. The liquidators will write to known creditors with a proof-of-debt form. A statement of affairs prepared by the directors and the chair of the creditors' decision procedure should be available on request. Read more about proof of debt and where you sit in the creditor hierarchy.
Did you work at Town & Country Edlesborough Limited?
In a CVL, employees are typically dismissed at or shortly after the liquidator's appointment. Wages owed up to a statutory cap, holiday pay, notice pay and redundancy may be claimable from the Redundancy Payments Service. The liquidators will normally provide RP1 case-reference numbers to the affected staff. See gov.uk: your rights if your employer is insolvent.
Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Town & Country Edlesborough Limited?
Customers with paid-but-undelivered orders, gift cards or deposits 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 Town & Country Edlesborough Limited?
Section 216 of the Insolvency Act 1986 applies the moment the company enters liquidation. 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 and file the relevant notice. Acting in breach is a criminal offence and exposes you to personal liability for the successor's debts.
