The most recent insolvency notice for K A Y Hotels and Properties LTD is a Petitions to wind up (Companies), published 25 September 2026 in The London Gazette. The petition was presented by SHNL (HOLDCO 2) LIMITED. The case is before the The Rolls Building (case CR-2026-006625). The petition is listed to be heard on Wednesday 21 October 2026 at 10:30am (or as soon thereafter as the petition can be heard). Its last accounts filed at Companies House, to 31 July 2025, showed total assets of £1.0m and net assets of £29k. Those accounts were filed 14 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.

What happens next

At the hearing the court decides whether to make a winding-up order. Until it does, the petition can still be dismissed or withdrawn — if the debt is paid, if it is genuinely disputed on substantial grounds, if the company has a cross-claim larger than the debt, or if the court is persuaded to adjourn while a rescue or refinancing is put in place. 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.
