Janelle House, Hartham Lane, Hertford, SG14 1QN

The most recent insolvency notice for MBJSC (Properties) Limited is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 28 August 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by KINGSWAY ASSET FINANCE LIMITED. The case is before the The Rolls Building (case CR-2026-CR-2026-006171). The petition was listed to be heard on Wednesday 23 September 2026 at 10:30 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 January 2025, showed total assets of £512k and net assets of £9k. Those accounts were filed 19 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began. A winding-up petition asks the court to close a company and place it into compulsory liquidation, most often because a debt has gone unpaid. If the court makes a winding-up order, control passes to the Official Receiver or an appointed liquidator, the company's bank accounts are frozen and its assets are sold to repay creditors.

The petitioning creditor is another company, so the debt behind the petition is a commercial one — typically an unpaid invoice, rent, or a judgment that went unsatisfied — rather than a tax liability.

If an order is made, the company stops trading, its bank accounts are frozen, control passes to the Official Receiver and a liquidator is appointed to sell the assets and pay creditors in the order fixed by law.
