W.J. BAKER (PROPERTY MANAGEMENT) LIMITED, IP33 1ES : Companies House Number 00755179

Executive summary

W.J. Baker (Property Management) Limited presents a medium-high risk profile primarily due to a material director's loan (£148,070, representing 54% of net assets), unexplained prior year adjustments indicating historical accounting irregularities, and an unidentified £174,000 long-term creditor appearing for the first time in 2024. While the company benefits from a long operating history and investment property backing, the negative P&L reserve, thin cash position, and governance concerns around related party transactions and financial reporting reliability warrant significant caution. Further due diligence is essential before any institutional commitment.
