The High Court of Justice made a winding-up order against GMEK Housing Consortium Ltd on 20 May 2026, placing the London property letting company into compulsory liquidation. The Official Receiver was appointed liquidator the same day under case number 002671 of 2026.
Compulsory liquidation is a court-imposed process, distinct from a voluntary winding-up resolved by a company's own members. From the date of the order, the company's assets pass to a liquidator, who realises those assets and distributes the proceeds to creditors.
The petition
A petition to wind up GMEK Housing Consortium Ltd was filed on 7 April 2026. The petitioner was Collaborative Care Solutions Limited, which the Gazette notice for the original petition identifies as itself in compulsory liquidation. Its correspondence address at the time of filing was given as c/o FRP Advisory Trading Limited, 2nd Floor, Abbey House, 32 Booth Street, Manchester, M2 4AB. The winding-up order followed at a hearing on 20 May 2026.

Correspondence can be directed to PO Box 16662, Birmingham, B2 2HA, by email at London1.OR@insolvency.gov.uk, or by telephone on 0300 678 0016.

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 Gmek Housing Consortium 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 Gmek Housing Consortium 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.
