A sweet shop in the centre of Bath has closed due to rent arrears, and the landlord has secured repossession.
Kingdom Of Sweets on Stall Street
There are legal notices posted on the glass doors of Kingdom of Sweets in Stall Street, including one saying the locks have been changed.
A notice dated 28th May addressed to Drayover Ltd from solicitors Taylor Wessing, who are acting for the landlord, tells the company “you have failed to pay the rent which fell due on 25 May 2025 nor have you paid the £5,000 which fell due on 26 May 2025”.
It adds that it has come to their client’s attention that there is an active proposal by Companies House to strike off Drayover Ltd “which constitutes a threat that the company will cease to exist”.
The solicitors say their client has “demonstrated significant patience” but in light of breaches is entitled to a break notice terminating the lease.
A subsequent notice dated 7th June says the lease was duly terminated on 6th June, and the owner has recovered possession.
The final collection date given for the goods remaining in the shop is 21st June, with notice having to be given not less than 24 hours beforehand.
Companies House records show that compulsory strike-off action was discontinued on 31st May.
