SIX TOWN HOUSING LIMITED
Company number 04948846 · Monitor this company
Executive summary
Six Town Housing Limited presents a unique risk profile characterized by terminal operational decline despite underlying financial solvency. The company is actively entering a wind-down phase following Bury Council's decision to dissolve the entity, resulting in a 94% collapse in turnover and the impending loss of key management leases. However, the risk of creditor loss is substantially mitigated by the company's status as a local authority subsidiary; Bury Council maintains total control and will likely absorb the remaining 103 owned housing units and associated liabilities. Institutional investors should treat this entity as a transitioning vehicle rather than a going concern.
