Willows Estates London Ltd winding-up petition dismissed

Second Floor, Sutherland House, 70-78 West Hendon Broadway, London, NW9 7BT

The most recent insolvency notice for Willows Estates London Ltd is a Dismissal of winding up petition, published 25 September 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by HM Revenue & Customs on 04 August 2026. The case is before the High Court of Justice (Chancery Division) (case CR-2026-006055). The petition was listed to be heard on 23 September 2026 — a date that has now passed, and the Gazette notice is not updated afterwards. Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 August 2025, showed total assets of £150k and net assets of £150k. Those accounts were filed 12 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.

HMRC is the petitioning creditor, so the debt behind the petition is unpaid tax — most often VAT, PAYE or corporation tax — rather than a trade debt. HMRC petitions usually follow a long run of missed payments and ignored demands.
