The court appointed the Official Receiver as Liquidator of
-
Assent Building Compliance Limited (company number 05311596)
-
LB Building Control Limited (company number 06442788)
-
Oculus Building Consultancy Limited (company number 03414863)
The Official Receiver is continuing to wind-down the companies in accordance with her statutory duties and this is the latest position as at the 23 March 2026.
Notice regarding project data – Assent Building Compliance Limited & LB Building Control Limited & Oculus Building Consultancy Limited (in compulsory liquidation).
The Official Receiver, acting as liquidator of Assent Building Compliance Limited, LB Building Control Limited and Oculus Building Consultancy Limited, has reviewed the position regarding all project data formerly held by the companies.
Following liquidation, project clients and relevant authorities were provided with time‑limited access to project documentation. This period has now closed.
Having considered the volume and nature of the records held, the relevant statutory framework and the costs of ongoing retention, the Official Receiver has determined, with the benefit of legal advice, that there is no obligation to retain historic project data indefinitely. It is suggested that requests are made of alternative third parties who are likely to hold the same documentation.
The Official Receiver intends to retain the data for a limited period only (i.e. for a further 12 months on the date of this notice, that being 05 June 2027), after which it will be destroyed in accordance with insolvency legislation.
Any requests for documentation will be considered; however, it should be noted that the records are not held in a form where they are easily interrogated and therefore it is unlikely that it will be possible for documentation to be provided.
Should a court order be obtained (prior to destruction) requiring disclosure, it will be necessary for the Official Receiver’s full costs and disbursements to be paid. Certain disbursements are likely to be required to be paid before any search is undertaken. Further, at all times it will be necessary for confidentiality of third parties to be maintained.
Any party who considers they require access to/ data should make the necessary enquiries with the Official Receiver and/or take their own independent legal advice to protect their position.
No further notice will be given, and the Official Receiver will proceed with destruction any time after 05 June 2027 in accordance with insolvency legislation.
