RANK DEVELOPMENTS LTD
Company number 04694698 · Monitor this company
This company is in liquidation.
Executive summary
Rank Developments Ltd is a Fareham-based micro property developer that has ceased trading and is now in liquidation, holding no meaningful assets against £329.5k of long-term creditors and net liabilities of the same amount — a balance sheet frozen since FY2022. Its trajectory from a geared development balance sheet in the mid-2010s, through a pandemic-era asset write-down in FY2020, to an orderly FY2021 de-gearing and final wind-down mirrors the broader attrition of small UK developers through the post-GFC credit drought, COVID-19, and the 2022–23 interest-rate shock. It no longer competes in the sector; its significance is as a textbook example of SME developer exit in a segment that continues to generate the UK's highest corporate insolvency volumes.
