UK housing developer enters liquidation after four years
Wolseley UK’s petition led to the appointment of two UHY Hacker Young LLP liquidators, after Companies House recorded the winding-up process in 2023.
A notice published on September 17 confirmed that Pearcroft Homes has entered liquidation following a winding-up petition submitted by Wolseley, a plumbing and heating supplier.
The legal process began in April 2023 when Wolseley submitted the petition, with District Judge Mantle issuing a high court closure order in October 2023.
Before liquidation, Pearcroft claimed to be the UK's leading carbon-neutral developer, achieving average carbon emissions of-0.5 tonnes and promising "better air quality" and "intuitive energy efficiency technology."
Liquidators Paraskevi Iacovou and Peter Kubik of UHY Hacker Young LLP were appointed on September 8, with Iacovou instructing creditors to "forward proofs of debt to me."
Under the Insolvency Act, the statutory process aims to distribute assets to creditors in order of priority, with administration typically ending automatically after 12 months unless extended.
