Meridien House Commercial Limited filed a winding-up petition against Diamondlimits Limited at the High Court on 15 May 2026, claiming to be a creditor of the London property-letting company. The petition carries case reference CR-2026-003717 and is listed for hearing at 7 Rolls Building, Fetter Lane, London on 1 July 2026 at 10:30.
A winding-up petition is a court filing by a creditor asking the court to make a winding-up order. Filing a petition does not place the company into liquidation.
The company
Diamondlimits Limited was incorporated on 29 July 1999 and operates under SIC code 68209, which covers the letting and operating of own or leased real estate. Its registered address is 5 Mcnicol Drive, London NW10 7AJ. The company filed small company accounts made up to 30 March 2025.
Secured charges
Two outstanding registered charges are held by Emirates NBD Bank (P.J.S.C), London Branch, both secured against the freehold property at 3-4 Vere Street, London W1G 0DH, registered at the Land Registry under title number NGL777654. The first charge was created on 29 October 2019 and delivered to Companies House on 5 November 2019. The second was created on 4 April 2023 and delivered on 6 April 2023. Emirates NBD Bank is a secured creditor, meaning its debt is backed by a charge over the company's assets and it ranks ahead of unsecured creditors in any distribution of assets.
The petitioner
Meridien House Commercial Limited is addressed care of Motcomb Estates Limited, 4th Floor, Millbank Tower, 21-24 Millbank, London SW1P 4QP. Its solicitor is Brad Trerise of Reed Smith LLP, 1 Blossom Yard, London E1 6RS.
Anyone intending to appear at the hearing, whether to support or oppose the petition, must give notice to the petitioner or its solicitor by 16:00 on 30 June 2026, in accordance with Rule 7.14 of the Insolvency (England and Wales) Rules 2016.
The directors
Maarouf Chafic Abouzaki has been a director since 4 November 1999. Ranya Abouzaki was appointed as a director on 5 December 2025 and remains in post. Rana Al Ghouch was appointed on 27 December 2025 and resigned on 9 April 2026.
Three further officers left the company in earlier years. Rana Abouzaki served as a director from 15 July 2002 until 13 July 2021. Randa Abouzaki served as company secretary from 15 July 2002 until 26 August 2022. Rana Abouzaki and Randa Abouzaki are distinct individuals who share the same surname; each held a separate role and resigned on different dates.
Common questions
What does a winding-up petition mean for Diamondlimits Limited?
A petition is a court filing, not a court order. Diamondlimits Limited is not yet in liquidation. The court will consider the petition at the date listed in the notice; until then, the company continues to trade, but its bank may freeze accounts and counterparties may stop extending credit. The court can dismiss the petition, adjourn it, or grant a winding-up order.
Are you owed money by Diamondlimits Limited?
You are not yet a creditor in a liquidation; the company is still trading. If you support the petition, you may file a notice of support at the court named in the notice. If the petition is granted, you become an unsecured creditor in the resulting compulsory liquidation and the Official Receiver will invite you to submit a proof of debt.
Did you work at Diamondlimits Limited?
A petition does not by itself terminate your employment. Wages and holiday pay continue to accrue until the company stops paying you or is wound up. Watch the bank position closely; if accounts are frozen, payroll will be the first thing to fail. If the petition is granted, statutory redundancy and notice claims become payable from the Redundancy Payments Service.
Are you a director of Diamondlimits Limited?
Once a petition is filed, the company's directors have a heightened duty to consider the interests of creditors. Continuing to trade where there is no reasonable prospect of avoiding insolvent liquidation can expose directors to personal liability for wrongful trading under Section 214 of the Insolvency Act 1986. Specialist insolvency advice should be taken immediately.
