The most recent insolvency notice for Earl Estates Limited is a Notices to creditors (MVL), published 19 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Andrew John Whelan (IP number 8726) of WSM Marks Bloom LLP, Unit 2 Spinnaker Court, 1C Becketts Place, Hampton Wick, Kingston upon Thames KT1 4EQ, appointed 14 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 September 2025, showed total assets of £2.7m and net assets of £1.2m. Those accounts were filed 12 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began.

It is a planned closure, not a sign of financial distress.
