The most recent insolvency notice for Orpheus Properties Limited is a Notices to creditors (MVL), published 20 October 2026 in The London Gazette. The office holder is Gavin Bates, appointed 9 October 2026. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 30 June 2025, showed total assets of £599k and net assets of £25k. Those accounts were filed 15 months before the first insolvency notice, so they describe the company well before the process began. A members' voluntary liquidation (MVL) is the solvent, orderly winding-up of a company that can pay its debts in full — usually part of a director's retirement, a group restructure, or closing a company that has served its purpose. It is a planned closure, not a sign of financial distress.
