Overview

Gambling Connection: CENTRAL PROPERTIES (DURHAM) LIMITED held a UK Gambling Commission operator licence, first issued in 2009, for over 17 years before the licence was surrendered. It appears in this database as a former UKGC-licensed entity.

CENTRAL PROPERTIES (DURHAM) LIMITED is a long-standing private limited company, incorporated on 18 March 1963 and still active after more than six decades. Its primary activity falls under real estate letting and management, though it held a UKGC operator licence for a period spanning over 17 years before surrendering it. That combination of a property-focused business with a regulated gambling licence isn't common, and it places the company in Saferwager's database as a former licensed entity.

The company scores 97 out of 100, earning an A+ grade. That score reflects its active status, age, UK registration, and clear ownership structure. It hasn't accumulated any outstanding charges, and its accounts and confirmation statements are reasonably up to date. For a company of its age and type, that's a clean record.

Governance

The company has two current directors, both UK residents, and has been led by the same director continuously since 2002. Ownership sits with a corporate entity holding between 75% and 100% of shares, alongside an individual recorded as having significant influence or control.
