A standard register lookup stops at these filings. Companies House does not provide a direct button or filter to display which downstream entities Pye Properties Limited owns.

What the reverse PSC search reveals: downstream subsidiaries

While Companies House does not provide an outward subsidiary search, Corp Intel holds the complete UK PSC database and reverses it. By searching every active UK company that records Pye Properties Limited (05641425) as a corporate Person with Significant Control, the downstream group structure is uncovered tier by tier.

Pye Properties Limited directly holds significant control over seven subsidiaries. Four of these subsidiaries are intermediate holding entities that control second-tier subsidiaries:

| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |

Second-tier holding points

Several entities within this portfolio act as intermediate vehicles holding further subsidiaries down the chain:

Company 03289104 (name not on current register) controls 6 downstream subsidiaries.
MUNRO & GIBSON LIMITED (15060592), incorporated on 9 August 2023, directly controls 2 downstream subsidiaries.
Company 00012929 (name not on current register) directly controls 1 downstream subsidiary.
UKL BIDCO (CB) LTD (16730664), incorporated on 19 September 2025, directly controls 2 downstream subsidiaries.

In total, this structure contains four second-tier branches, representing an operating and investment footprint that is invisible when looking at the primary profile of Pye Properties Limited alone.

Who sits at the top: upstream chain to the UBO

To identify the ultimate beneficial owners (UBOs) under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds Regulations 2017, due diligence teams must trace through the corporate shareholder register to the natural persons who exercise ultimate ownership.

Pye Properties Limited is controlled by U K Land Limited (02599100), which holds between 75% and 100% of the share capital. Examining the register of U K Land Limited identifies the individuals who sit at the apex of the group structure:

Mrs Jennifer Ellen Kidston: Individual PSC of U K Land Limited, holding 25% to 50% of shares.
Mr Henry George Macrae Tett: Individual PSC of U K Land Limited, holding 25% to 50% of shares.
Mr Frederick Felix Jowett Tett: Individual PSC of U K Land Limited, holding 25% to 50% of shares.

Each of these three individuals holds statutory control bands between 25% and 50% in the immediate parent entity, establishing them as the natural persons holding ultimate beneficial ownership over Pye Properties Limited and its seven operating and asset subsidiaries.

Why the structure matters for due diligence

Mapping corporate org charts across multiple tiers is a core requirement for transaction verification, credit profiling, and regulatory compliance. Relying purely on annual accounts filings carries distinct operational limitations. Group accounts filed at Companies House are often submitted months after the financial year ends, dormant entities may be omitted, and small or medium-sized groups may claim consolidation exemptions under sections 398 to 402 of the Companies Act 2006.

A complete reverse group structure chart impacts commercial risk assessment in several areas:

Contractual counterparties and liability segregation: When trading with or contracting with a group, identifying whether you are dealing with the intermediate holding company (Pye Properties Limited), an acquisition vehicle (such as UKL BIDCO (CB) LTD), or an underlying trading asset determines recourse against group assets.
Lending and cross-guarantees: Lenders reviewing security packages must identify which subsidiaries hold real property and trading assets versus which hold equity stakes. Performing a company charge check across all identified entities prevents unrecorded prior debentures or specific asset mortgages from being overlooked.
Insolvency and contagion risk: Distress at the level of a subsidiary can isolate or encumber parental assets. Professional advisers handling creditor risk or pre-acquisition audits should execute a winding up search or run a winding up petition search against every group tier, ensuring that petition notices filed in the courts do not threaten group holding covenants.
Anti-money laundering (AML) compliance: Solicitors and compliance teams must verify natural persons holding more than 25% direct or indirect control. Tracing Pye Properties Limited upwards to U K Land Limited verifies the three individuals who require identity and source-of-wealth screening.

Group due diligence verification steps

When evaluating a group with intermediate tiers, corporate advisers follow a standard verification protocol:

1. Identify intermediate nodes: Establish whether the subject entity acts as an asset-owner, parent holding vehicle, or intermediate conduit.

2. Map downstream holdings: Run a reverse PSC scan across the Register of Companies to discover all direct and indirect subsidiaries.

3. Isolate asset-holding tiers: Identify which subsidiaries hold live trading contracts and which hold property or debt.

4. Ascertain the top-tier UBO: Trace shareholdings upwards until all natural persons holding statutory thresholds (25% or greater) are identified.

5. Review encumbrances and notices: Examine the charges register and check statutory insolvency notices on The Gazette and the courts cause lists across all identified entities.

For conveyancers, lawyers and lenders

Group structure mapping is essential prior to transaction completion, facility drawdown, and AML customer due diligence sign-off. Failing to identify lower-tier subsidiaries or assuming that an intermediate holding company holds primary trading assets introduces serious credit risk, cross-collateral gaps, and regulatory breach risks under MLR 2017.
