UK housing company plunges into liquidation with £400k debts The UK housing company that claimed to be the nations leading net zero housing developer has plunged into liquidation after just four years in business A UK housing company has plunged into liquidation after four years in business. Pearcroft Homes claimed to be the UK's leading net zero housing developer, specialising in building luxury carbon-neutral homes. However, after just four years, liquidators were appointed on September 8. The company stated it was 'on a mission to build a positive and sustainable legacy for future generations'. The winding-up process reportedly began in April 2023, when Wolseley UK, a plumbing and heating supplier, submitted a petition to wind up the company. A high court order to close the company was issued in October 2023 by District Judge Mantle, reports The Herald. Pearcroft Homes claimed its work "integrates high-quality materials with state-of-the-art sustainable technology" to make homes "eco-conscious havens". The website said that the projects "give back to local communities and the environment". According to the Gazette Paraskevi Iacovou and Peter Kubik of UHY Hacker Young LLP have been appointed as liquidators. Ms Iacovou said: "Creditors who have not yet proved their debts must forward proofs of debt to me." According to the most recent financial documents published on Companies House dated up until January 2025 the business had £404.764 in amounts falling due in one year.
