The Business and Property Courts in Manchester made a winding-up order against Belfry Property Ltd on 12 May 2026, placing the company into compulsory liquidation less than two years after it was incorporated. Compulsory liquidation is imposed by a court order rather than by a voluntary resolution of the members.
Belfry Property Ltd was registered on 8 July 2024 with a registered office at Hermitage House, 915 Garratt Lane, London, SW17 0JA. According to its registered SIC codes, the company carried on business in the development of building projects and in the letting and operating of own or leased real estate. Its most recent accounts, made up to 31 July 2025, were filed as micro-entity accounts, the category used by the smallest companies under UK accounting rules.
The winding-up order was sealed under case number 000342 of 2026. The Official Receiver, the civil servant of the Insolvency Service who automatically takes office as liquidator on most winding-up orders, will now handle the company's affairs unless creditors subsequently nominate a licensed insolvency practitioner to replace them.
The officers
At the time of the order, Chris Peck was the sole serving director, having been appointed on 10 November 2025. Charles Thomas Frederick Baskott had served as a director from 1 August 2025 but resigned on 13 November 2025, three days after Peck joined the board. Simon Hill was both a director and company secretary from incorporation on 8 July 2024, resigning from both roles on 1 September 2025.
Charges and creditors
No secured charges are registered against Belfry Property Ltd at Companies House, meaning no secured creditor holds a fixed or floating charge over the company's assets. Creditors with claims against the company will be contacted by the Official Receiver in due course and invited to submit a proof of debt, the formal claim form used to evidence the amount owed during a liquidation.
The notice was published in the London Gazette on 22 May 2026.

Do you hold a deposit, gift card or undelivered order from Belfry Property 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 Belfry Property 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.
