A registered charge over freehold land in Brixton held by Shawbrook Bank Limited remains outstanding as Acre Lane Assets Limited, a London property development vehicle, entered creditors' voluntary liquidation on 15 June 2026.
Mark Reynolds of Valentine & Co, based at Galley House, Moon Lane, Barnet, was appointed liquidator on that date. Reynolds holds IP number 8838. The appointment was made by both members and creditors, the Gazette notice confirms. In a creditors' voluntary liquidation, an insolvent company's members resolve to wind it up without a court order, and a licensed insolvency practitioner is appointed to realise its assets and distribute proceeds to creditors.
Acre Lane Assets Limited was incorporated on 30 March 2017 and trades under SIC code 41100, the development of building projects. The company was originally registered as Merlin Property Ventures One Limited, a name it held from incorporation until 21 April 2017. Its registered office has been updated to c/o Valentine & Co at the Barnet address for the purposes of the liquidation.
The secured charge
Shawbrook Bank Limited holds a registered charge created on 25 May 2022 and delivered to Companies House on 30 May 2022. The charge covers the freehold land known as 34 Acre Lane, London SW2 5SG, registered at the Land Registry with title absolute under title number TGL198786. The charge remains outstanding, meaning it was not discharged before the liquidation commenced. As a secured creditor, Shawbrook Bank Limited's debt is backed by that charge and it ranks ahead of unsecured creditors in any distribution of assets.

Victoria Jane Taylor is the sole current director, appointed on 30 September 2022. James Owen Anwell served as a director from 6 December 2023 until his resignation on 9 April 2024.

Common questions
Are you owed money by Acre Lane Assets 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 Acre Lane Assets 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 Acre Lane Assets 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 Acre Lane Assets 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.
