What this business does

Primary activity: Buying and selling of own real estate

Sector: Real estate

ALSO REGISTERED FOR

68209Other letting and operating of own or leased real estate

Investor take

Pass (distressed without resilience)

Distressed property-backed borrower — structural issues outweigh the discount.

Opportunity 62/100 (worth a look), bankability 52/100. Share purchase looks the cleaner deal structure. Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 6 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: distressed disposal / insolvency (65/100).

🏦

Refinance opportunity

12 live charges · 6 lenders · oldest 3.4y

25/100

too messy

Refinance path is blocked by complexity. Rethink structure or expect bespoke, expensive terms.

· Charge age ~3.4 years — mid-life; refi window approaching.
· 6 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
· Legal-friction score 40/100 — workable, but lender will want more DD.

Data confidence

Overall: medium (73/100)

Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.

Owner dependency

58/100

Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

FACTORS

+Two-director setup: Only two active directors — typical of owner-managed SMEs but limits succession.

Succession & seller-readiness

36/100

Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

SIGNALS

secondaryTwo-director governance: Small-team governance. Succession depth is thin but not absent.

Red flags

2 med · 1 low

4 new charges in last 12 months

medium

Heavy recent charge activity can indicate refinancing pressure, aggressive leverage, or multiple lender rotation.

Evidence: 2026-03-02: A registered charge; 2025-11-05: A registered charge; 2025-10-24: A registered charge

Charge satisfaction-then-recreation pattern

medium

Multiple instances where a charge was satisfied and a new charge created within 6 months. Suggests active refinancing cycle.

7 live charges

low

Heavily leveraged with multiple live security positions — understand the capital structure before proceeding.
