Getting info on administrator

[groovyjon]

A limited company that appears to have just ceased trading has a shop unit that we are very interested in taking over. I'm not familiar with the process when a ltd co ceases trading - would it now be in the hands of an administrator or is that just if there are creditors owed money? Would that info be published anywhere - doesn't seem to be anything listed with Companies House yet but it's only within the last couple of weeks that the shutters went down.

If I manage to find out who to contact, how is it likely to go? Would the administrator be interested in assigning the lease?

The shopping centre that the unit is in aren't pushing things as they aren't paying any rates until they take the keys back off the previous tenant.

Any info appreciated!

If the shop has going into administration, then the information should be displayed on the shop.

However, that's usually only if people are owed money. They might have just closed down without any problems.

They may not have got round to approaching an estate agent yet, or they may have someone else interested in the shop.
