It is highly unlikely that the TS will have disclaimed the property, especially since it was only dissolved in August last year.
The TS don't actively deal with property of disclaimed companies. Something only tends to get looked at once someone approaches them about it.
The land which was owned by the now dissolved company is now "bona vacantia", which essentially translates as ownerless property.
As such the ownership of the land has passed to the crown, and falls under the control of the treasury solicitor.

I had also noticed use of the word loan and was going to make a point about it. But, i think it was clear he had in fact sold them to the company and hence the director loan balance.
A strike off is not intended for insolvent companies. However, you mention that the only creditor is you as the director. In your circumstance I would say you can go ahead and do a strike off.
But, I caveat that with the following observation:

As regards the strike off process, i'm going to suggest that is a non starter. HMRC will undoubtedly object to any strike off application.
Your better bet, if you wish to draw things to a formal conclusion would be to place the...
My view is that you should not be applying to do a strike off since you know the company has assets and liabilities. A strike off is not intended for companies in this position.
Your duty as a director is to act in the interest of creditors. Striking the company off hoping you avoid the DLA is...

I rather suspect Companies House are just a bit slow.. That's not unusual for a government entity.
the people who act as directors are just a front. So they wont start acting as shadow directors. The people behind the scenes will just find another stooge to take another 100 appointments.

Clearly a strike off is appropriate for certain circumstances. But i wouldn't be surprised if many of those looking at this forum have overdrawn...
