What this business does
Primary activity: Buying and selling of own real estate
Sector: Real estate
Investor take
Pass (distressed without resilience)Distressed property-backed borrower — structural issues outweigh the discount.
Opportunity 39/100 (watch), bankability 12/100. Asset purchase likely safer than share purchase given structural signals. Biggest value-creation lever: File overdue accounts. Clears statutory overdue flag — immediate bankability uplift for refinance conversations. Most likely exit: asset disposal / carve-out (90/100). Current lenders should be on immediate intervention.
🏦
Refinance opportunity
10 live charges · 7 lenders · oldest 25.4y
25/100
too messy
Structure is too messy for a clean refinance right now — clean up first or expect bespoke terms.
- · Oldest live charge is 25.4 years old — likely at or near maturity.
- · 7 lenders named — inter-creditor friction likely.
- · Legal-friction score 65/100 (specialist).
Data confidence
Overall: medium (61/100)Adequate coverage. AI outputs are reliable for the sections scored high; verify the rest in diligence.
