BREAKING NEWS: BLUE CIRCLE PARKING 'GOES BUST'

UPDATED 27/05/2024

Aero Travel Extras Limited, operating under the trading style of Blue Circle Parking, has ceased trading with immediate effect. Passengers returning to Birmingham were left stranded at 4 am. A staff member has reported that operations at other locations are unaffected.

A petition to wind-up Aero Travel Extras Limited, company number 12136283, was filed by National Car Parks Limited (NCP), and issued on April 8, 2024. The company operates at Birmingham, Heathrow, and Luton Airports. The registered office is 63 The Grove, London, England, W5 5LL.

The previous posted link to the Blue Circle website has now been removed, as their website is no longer live. No more updates are available at this time. If customers have placed a booking prior to travelling, then they should ask their card provider for a 'chargeback' and make alternative arrangements. However, depending on their current circumstances ie insolvent, this may require a different approach. It would seem that separate arrangements have been made by each individual booking agents. Currently, we have no information on what those arrangements are.

AHOY THERE SOUTHAMPTON PORT CRUISERS!
EXPOSED - The Deceptive Practices at Circle Parking Ltd.

20/05/2024 23:00 | UPDATED 25/07/2024 03:24

In February 2024, our team investigated Circle Parking, a new 'family-run' parking enterprise in Southampton. Using publicly available data and internal communications, we uncovered troubling practices.

Location and Setup

The car park is located at Open Storage Land, Norquay Business Park, Wide Lane, Southampton, SO18 2HJ. The site is at the rear, sandwiched between a railway line and construction work fronting Wide Lane. The location lacks adequate cover or security, has minimal palisade fencing, and is enclosed with temporary Harris fencing.

Planning Enforcement

Since our initial report, which Ms. Mouland's legal representative attempted to thwart, but failed, Southampton City Council's planning enforcement team has flagged the car park for "unlawful development." Concurrent lawful construction on the same land is underway to develop new industrial units. Residents are unlikely to appreciate the extra disruption commencing at 4 a.m., in addition to the ongoing construction work, nor will the Council.

Operational Practices

Circle Parking planned to use both Solent and Radio Taxi services for transport instead of employing their own drivers. This is common practice among new businesses lacking permission from Associated British Ports to operate on their private property. We believe this is still the current position for Circle Parking, which now risks their minibus being refused entry. Initially, our investigations raised no major concerns, although their website contained misleading claims and appeared to be a clone of another site already on our radar.

Revealing Internal Documents

Documents and emails from Circle Parking and MSR Smart Solutions Ltd, leaked to us by a confidential source, revealed deeper issues. The director, Ms. Tina Mouland, a 'full-time' registered counsellor, is believed to be unaware of the source of Circle Parking's funds and is being manipulated to front the business for Shaf Rafiq. One of Shaf Rafiq's silent partners is Rasab Akram. We attempted to warn Ms. Mouland, but she did not respond.

2023 - The Year of Chaos and Carnage

Shaf Rafiq and his company, MSR Smart Solutions, were operating at Southampton Port during 2023. It's unclear where his operation was based or which website, if any, was his. Also residing in Southampton and operating at the port were Rasab Akram and his son Hamza. Rasab Akram no longer appears to support Shaf Rafiq and Circle Parking, initially posting favourably on Cruise Parking Tips (Southampton Port) and then later retracting his support.

Financial Misconduct

Rasab Akram acts as a hidden 'silent director,' financing Circle Parking Ltd through MSR Smart Solutions Ltd. Circle Parking reportedly lacks banking facilities. Funds from bookings are allegedly laundered through Shaf Rafiq's MSR Smart Solutions Ltd bank account. An initial fee of £3,000 + VAT secured the site, with a possible further £20,000 + VAT paid as a security deposit. Regardless, the invoice was in the name Circle Parking Ltd. References to this 'partnership' have since been removed from Circle Parking's website and are absent from Companies House filings and the business lease. This raises serious legal concerns about potential money laundering and undisclosed beneficial ownership by Shaf Rafiq and others.

Rasab Akram's Extended Influence

Rasab Akram's influence extends to other associates, such as Mohammed Haseeb Iltaf (Haseeb Iltaf), who acts as a frontman for Rasab Akram’s and others' companies at Manchester Airport. Even Rasab Akram's son, Hamza, was brought in as a director at Southampton. Notably, Circle Parking's original website appeared to be cloned from Haseeb Iltaf’s Emirate Manchester Airport Parking site. The same web designer, Fahad Sheraz Ahmad, created both sites, causing a glitch that linked the two. The original website is archived [here] (https://web.archive.org/web/20240317091341/https://circleparking.co.uk/).

Website and Privacy Policy Changes

Changes to Tina Mouland's website included Haseeb Iltaf’s contact details, which have since been removed. Haseeb Iltaf has also started a new company, Ocean Port Parking Limited, possibly indicating new operations in Southampton or elsewhere. Like Rasab Akram, he is also a member of Cruise Parking Tips (Southampton Port).

Security Concerns

The security company supposedly guarding Circle Parking is a sham. Signage was manufactured in Blackburn for Shaf Rafiq, which includes his personal phone number +447970728815. This has been linked to his car advertisements on Auto Trader, Facebook, and the now-dissolved carshq.co.uk website, archived [here] (https://web.archive.org/web/20220816182722/https://www.carshq.co.uk/pages/6/contact-carshq).

Conclusion

Circle Parking Ltd's operations are complex and concerning. We will continue to scrutinise and report findings. Entities exploiting the public should be less concerned about what we post in the public interest, and more about what we don't reveal and what we do with it. We remain vigilant, knowing that criminal activities often exploit assumptions.

Cruise safely,

Drive Park and Fly Ltd - is a 'criminal' enterprise that has become synonymous with incompetence, theft, damage, and fraud.

The alleged mastermind behind this meet and greet parking operation is Pratyush Vatsa Choudhary, a 23-year-old Indian national who serves as the company's director. Choudhary, also known as Chaudhry on his LinkedIn profile, has recently applied for the dissolution of his business. However, Companies House has received an objection, potentially delaying his escape from legal consequences.

The company also operates under the trading name "Galaxy Parking," which has also been linked to the same fraudulent activities. Complaints against Drive Park and Fly suggest that parking services may be subcontracted to other 'known' entities. Interestingly, two booking websites associated with Ms Bird, whom we have previously written about, —feature "Galaxy Parking" in a professionally crafted GIF.

The Drive Park and Fly website is also a clone of a website owned by Georgia Megan Bird: GatwickAirportParkingSpaces.co.uk. Additionally, another of Bird's associated websites, Bristol Parking.co.uk employs a similar "landing" page approach. Since the story came to light, we discovered that the landing pages are unable to accept bookings and appear to be for show, only.

A word of caution to the public: Treat all websites as potential scams until proven otherwise. Read terms and conditions carefully; often, they are copied from other sources. Be wary of glowing 5-star reviews from unverified sources. In this case, victims mistakenly believed the website's high ratings were genuine. Remember, self-praise is no praise! The Advertising Standards Agency would concur.

Jo Timson, 58, was almost left £600 after a 'meet and greet' parking company failed to collect her car from a short stay car park at Gatwick airport.

BREAKING NEWS: Aero Travel Extras Limited, operating under the trade name Blue Circle Parking, is facing a legal challenge in the High Court.

A petition to wind-up Aero Travel Extras Limited, company number 12136283, has been filed by National Car Parks Limited (NCP).

The company operates at Birmingham, Heathrow, and Luton Airports. The registered office is 63 The Grove, London, England, W5 5LL. https://bluecircleparking.co.uk/

The petition, identified as CR-2024-MAN-000514, was issued on April 8, 2024. Notably, this case does not seem to involve any other affiliated companies with a similar incorporated name or trading name.

Breaking News: Vista Parking Faces Heat Over Missing Car Incident Less Than 24hrs After Our Previous Expose
Part 2

In a startling turn of events, Georgia Megan Bird finds herself thrust into the spotlight within 24 hours of our previous report, this time for her company's alleged involvement in a car’s disappearance.

Her landing page is; https://heathrowairportparkingspaces.co.uk/

As highlighted in our earlier coverage, Ms. Bird serves as the director of Heathrow Airport Parking Spaces Limited, a company that has been unable to account for a client's vehicle for the past two and a half weeks after it was collected from Heathrow Airport. Ironically, her company advertises that vehicles are stored within a "fenced and gated car park" and the Park and Ride option has "24/7 Manned Patrols" regardless, the vehicle appears to have simply 'vanished'.

Operating under the trading banner of Vista Parking, Ms. Bird's company is featured on a previously mentioned price consolidation platform, compareyourparking.co.uk. Again, the company’s practices have come under scrutiny; we recently highlighted another incident involving lost car keys at Bristol. That director is linked to Ms Bird and her partner, Jose Manuel De Freitas Castro. It appears that the website's owner and his wife may have again failed to conduct adequate due diligence before promoting Ms. Bird's company to unsuspecting consumers.

Until such time that Compare Your Parking complies with company law, we strongly advise anyone shopping for airport and cruise parking options, to avoid the following domain.

Bristol Airport Parking Saga: A Complex Web Unravels

In a recent development surrounding parking services in Bristol, a convoluted tale has emerged, shedding light on intricate corporate manoeuvres and potential subterfuge.
Part 1
The inception of Bristol Parking Ltd, with Company number 15459243, on 01/02/2024 by 'Mr' Georgia Megan Bird initially seemed straightforward. However, just a month later, Bird relinquished the role, and Ms. Aracelly Del Carmen Oviedo Castro, a 55-year-old Spanish national, assumed directorship on 07/03/2024.

The company finds itself embroiled in a puzzling lost car key debacle at Bristol Airport. Faced with the repercussions and unwilling to shoulder responsibility for the losses incurred by approximately 16 victims, Ms. Castro has initiated proceedings to voluntarily dissolve the company through Companies House. Anyone affected by them should read on to see what action they can take to prevent this.

The plot thickens with a deeper dive into the individuals involved.

Before spearheading Bristol Parking Ltd, Ms Bird, yes, they have been misgendered, served as the former company secretary of Park & Fly Gatwick Ltd, incorporated on 29/05/2020. This company, helmed by Jose Manuel de Freitas Castro, a Portuguese director allegedly in a close relationship with Ms. Bird, was struck off compulsorily on 20/09/2022.

Further complicating matters, Mr. Castro held directorship at Park 4 Me Ltd, company number 14970288, established on 29/06/2023. Employing a variant of his name, Jose Manuel Freitas Castro, and with a misspelled correspondence address, the company was swiftly marked for voluntary dissolution a week later 06/07/2023. It's speculated that this abrupt decision may have been influenced by Mr. Castro's active Individual Voluntary Arrangement (IVA), a step preceding bankruptcy, as disclosed by The Insolvency Service register.

Suspicions arise that Mr. Castro and Ms. Bird, along with their associates, are orchestrating a scheme involving relatives and friends to circumvent Mr. Castro's financial obligations and creditors.

Airport Parking Spaces Ltd, company number 14353636, incorporated on 13/09/2022, provides another piece to this intricate puzzle. Mr Aamir Ashiq Hussain Gujjar, a Spanish individual, was Initially proposed to be director of the company. However, Ms. Bird assumed directorship before Mr. Aamir Ashiq Hussain Gujjar took over on 04/12/2023.

Interestingly, both Mr. Gujjar and Ms. Castro had overlapping business interests in Paris in 2020/22, fuelling speculation of a personal connection. Ms. Castro is also director of A D Cleaning Services London Ltd, company number 13882336. The correspondence address is 1a Clayton Road, Hayes UB3 1AX, which coincidentally is also used by other Spanish and Portuguese nationals and one Irish.

Ms. Bird's involvement extends beyond Bristol, as she currently holds directorship positions in Gatwick Airport Parking Spaces Limited and Heathrow Airport Parking Spaces Limited. These entities, interlinked through landing pages posing as websites, are strategically hidden within various price aggregation platforms, potentially aiming to confer legitimacy and visibility to the businesses.

The following is a link to the website, Park at Bristol. We found that it is not possible to obtain a quotation via the website, again lending weight to our previous observations. Attention to the Terms and Conditions (T&CS) is also recommended, although we don’t think that many of the terms are enforceable. It is a perfect example of why they should be read before booking.
https://www.parkatbristol.co.uk/

The narrative takes a darker turn with suspicions pointing towards subcontracting of the parking services to known fraudsters, Mohammed Isaq and his son, Sultan Khan, reportedly of no fixed address. Incidental losses incurred by other trading names associated with the same landowner and the Khans further fuel these suspicions.

For anyone not familiar with company law, it is not possible to voluntary strike-off the business if it has been actively trading and taking bookings in the three-month period prior to the application being made. Anyone also undertaking litigation should send appropriate proof to Companies House, requesting the discontinuance of strike-off.

In summary, the parking saga in Bristol unravels a tangled web of corporate manoeuvres, personal relationships, and potential illicit activities, leaving questions lingering regarding accountability and transparency within the industry.

A Warning to the Price Consolidation Market and Parking Industry.
Introducing Our New Ally: The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)

The Competition and Markets Authority, or CMA, is a regulatory body appointed by the UK government. Think of them as the watchdogs of fair competition in the business world. Their mission? To ensure that businesses play by the rules and operate in a manner that promotes healthy competition, ultimately benefiting consumers by keeping prices competitive.

Now, let's talk about cartels. No, we're not referring to the illegal drug trade. In this context, cartels are groups of businesses that engage in shady practices like price-fixing, sharing sensitive pricing information, or otherwise stifling competition to gain an unfair advantage. These actions not only harm other businesses but also consumers. And yes, they're illegal.

So, when we received insider information that read suspiciously like cartel behaviour, we didn't hesitate to pass it along to the CMA through their designated whistleblower channel at : [email protected]

And here's an incentive: whistleblowers may be eligible for rewards of up to £250k.

As for the details of the information we provided, well, let's just say it's pretty damning. Without divulging too much, it involves affiliate businesses in the airport parking industry and a certain "respected" player in the price comparison/consolidation sector we've not dealt with before. Are you intrigued yet?

Now, let's talk about consequences. If found guilty, businesses could face fines of up to 10% of worldwide turnover, while directors could be banned from serving as directors for up to 15 years. And yes, individuals involved in these illegal activities could even face prison time, up to 5 years.

But here's a glimmer of hope for those involved: the CMA offers leniency for those willing to come clean about their involvement in cartels. However, it's a first-come, first-served basis, and it doesn't apply retroactively to ongoing investigations.

If you suspect that you or your business may have engaged in illegal activities, the CMA has provided a helpful document that breaks down the process and consequences in simple terms. You can find it here:https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5a816fa7ed915d74e33fe335/Leniency_60-second_summary.pdf

It's never too late to do the right thing.

If you are not a participant but think you have experienced a cartel, please call the cartels hotline on 0800 085 1664 or 0203 738 6888 or email [email protected] You may get a financial reward for any information that leads to investigation

SOUTHAMPTON PORT REMAINS VIGILANT AS CRUISE PARKING SCAMMERS RESURFACE
Updated 03/04/2024

In the wake of the 2023 cruise parking debacle that left numerous victims in its wake, Southampton, UK, finds itself, once again, under the shadow of fraudulent activities targeting hard-earned cash. This time, the perpetrators are back with a new scheme, substituting meet-and-greet services with a park-and-ride setup, spearheaded by a replacement company known as CRUISEPARKANDRIDE LTD (Company number 15488395). And yes, that's the correct format & spelling as recorded at Companies House

Introducing Kamran Khan, the 40-year-old director behind this operation. Khan was also a former director of Northern Wind BHX Parking Limited Company number 14217661, a business based at Birmingham airport. Please be aware of their websites and Customer Service number 020 812 33 969 (02081233969)

https://southamptonparkandride.co.uk/
also avoid Customer Service number 03333034452
https://meetandgreetsouthamptonportparking.co.uk/
https://southamptonportparkingservices.co.uk/

Adding to the concern is the association of these individuals with convicted fraudsters Mohammed Isaq and his son, Sultan Khan. The duo, notorious for orchestrating possibly one of the UK's largest fraudulent parking schemes, if not globally, are again behind this latest endeavour.

The purported "car park" is found at the former site of SU-Fix Precast Ltd, situated at the junction of Royal Crescent Road & Chantry Road, Southampton, SO14 3AD. This location, which encompasses multiple rental units, prompts valid inquiries regarding its suitability. The presence of other occupants sharing the site, coupled with the fact that Central Bridge, a major public highway and a footpath, passes directly overhead, raises concerns. The elevated position exposes parked vehicles to the risk of vandalism from above. Interestingly, the lease for this space falls under an entirely different company, AK PARKING LTD, which understandably has left the landlord apprehensive about potential deception and fraudulent activities

Already, reports are surfacing of clients facing long walks to the port with luggage and children in tow, purportedly due to a breakdown of the company's minibus. However, scepticism looms over whether this is indeed the case, given that they are barred from the port.

The company’s assertion of “Guaranteed Parking Availability” on their website has also raised our concerns. There are apprehensions that vehicles could once again be parked off-site in unauthorized areas like shopping centre car parks or streets due to over-subscription. Upon scrutinizing the details of some companies’ ‘overflow car parks’, hidden within their terms and conditions, an option emerges: the ability to move and store vehicles up to 50 miles away (one way). Unfortunately, we've also seen statements that these distant areas may also lack security, video surveillance systems, fencing, or proper planning permission. Clearly, it’s wise to carefully read the terms and conditions!

Sonu Khan, director of CRUISE PORT PARKING LTD (Company number 15171860), is identified as an associate, having been involved in the fraudulent parking operations at the port in 2023. Reports suggest he is keeping a low profile amid interest from a certain law enforcement agency.

For those seeking affordable parking in Southampton, caution is recommended against businesses trying to circumvent authorised access to the port by transporting clients via taxi, minibus, or shuttle bus. Following the earlier incidents in 2023, the landowners have restricted access, allowing only a select few named professional services. A list of approved operators can be found on Facebook at Cruise Parking Tips (Southampton):
https://www.facebook.com/groups/964638224623809

If a company is not listed, it is prudent to seek alternative options to avoid potential fraud. Additionally, the use of other unauthorized companies using similar facilities or publicly accessible car parks is discouraged, as they too are potentially trespassing on private property.

Vigilance and informed decision-making remain paramount in safeguarding against fraudulent activities targeting unsuspecting individuals in Southampton's port vicinity.

HERE WE GO AGAIN! - NEGLIGENT BRISTOL AIRPORT PARKING OPERATOR LOSES NUMEROUS CAR KEYS, LEAVING AIR TRAVELLERS STRANDED

Bristol, United Kingdom – In a shocking turn of events, an unofficial parking operator at Bristol Airport, trading under the name EXECUTIVE MEET AND GREET, has lost at least a dozen sets of car keys. These unfortunate incidents have left air travellers in a frustrating predicament, with potentially significant financial consequences.

The Calamity Unfolds
Air travellers who entrusted their vehicles to this parking service now find themselves stranded without access to their cars. As the situation continues to unfold, three victims are collectively facing a staggering £1250 in taxi fares. This substantial expense arises from their efforts to retrieve spare keys from home and return to collect their vehicles.

The Culprit and the Consolidator Website
The consolidator website used by the confirmed victims is CompareYourParking.co.uk. Behind this platform stands COMPARE TRAVEL SERVICES LIMITED (Company number 12449375). The director of this company, Mr. Hamza Shaukat, who hails from Southall. Unfortunately, Mr. Shaukat appears to be sensitive to criticism of his business practices. TOUGH!

A Troubled History
Mr. Shaukat was previously director of WIZPARK LTD (Company number 08623023), a parking company operating through its own comparison website at Heathrow. A quick glance at Google reviews reveals a dismal rating of 1 star out of 5 for his services. Clearly, past customers had less than satisfactory experiences.

Cloned Websites and Monopolization
Adding intrigue to the situation, Mr. Shaukat’s wife, Victoria Hamza Shaukat, is also a director. She oversees her own price comparison company, TOTAL TRAVEL SERVICES LTD (Company number 11689845), with a website at TotalTravel.co.uk. Curiously, both websites appear to be clones, offering identical parking products and featuring eerily identical ‘customer’ reviews.

Unhelpful Customer Support and Continued Promotion
Despite being aware of recent events, the customer support line for these parking services has been less than helpful. Reports indicate instances of rudeness, hang-ups, and unresponsiveness. To exacerbate matters, they continue to promote the very parking products that have caused this chaos.

A Word of Caution
Fast Park Bristol Airport, a secondary service provider, may also be linked to this same operator. Travellers should exercise caution when choosing parking services and consider alternative options to avoid similar nightmares.

A shocking revelation has also come to light
The parking area, masquerading as a legitimate car park used by the so-called “meet and greet” service at Bristol Airport, is actually a farmyard located at BS29 6EL Riverside, Banwell. However, this is no ordinary car park. Here are the alarming details:

Zero Security: The farmyard lacks any meaningful security measures. Keys entrusted to this service are carelessly left on-site, inviting potential theft or unauthorized access.

Unlocked Gates: To make matters worse, the gates are left unlocked, allowing unrestricted entry. This blatant disregard for security puts travellers’ vehicles at significant risk.

Muddy Terrain: If you dare to visit this site, be prepared for a muddy adventure. We recommend wearing waders to navigate the treacherous conditions.

The Landowner and the Change of Use
Our investigation has revealed the identity of the landowner. Armed with this information, we promptly contacted the local planning enforcement officer to report a change of use of agricultural land. The farmyard’s transformation into a makeshift car park is clearly unauthorized and poses a threat to travellers.

Intimidating Drivers and a Sham Business
For unfortunate clients who managed to retrieve spare keys and reclaim their vehicles, the ordeal has been far from pleasant. Two drivers, allegedly associated with the business behind this sham car park, have been described as patronizing and misogynistic. Their behaviour adds insult to injury for those already dealing with the aftermath of lost keys and security breaches.

Meet the Director
The company responsible for this debacle is BRISTOL PARKING LIMITED (Company number 15459243). Their website, ParkAtBristol.co.uk, conceals a web of deceit. The director, Miss Aracelly Del Carmen OVIEDO CASTRO, hails from Spain. Despite limited information about her or the company, our radar had already flagged them for other suspicious activities and their links. Having glanced over her company's terms and conditions currently being handed to victims, they clearly have been hobbled together in the hope that they will deter any perceived legal action. In our experience, paperwork like this belongs in the bin. We doubt any District Judge would entertain them, but that's just our thoughts, not legal advice.

Taking Action
As this story unfolds, we urge victims to take action:

Complain Online: Lodge complaints with Trading Standards, the Police, and Planning authorities. Written complaints are harder to dismiss.

Breach of Contract: Since no return service was provided, the provider violated the contract. Consider requesting a charge-back from your payment provider.

Stay tuned for further updates as our investigation continues. Your safety and rights matter, and we won’t rest until justice prevails.

In conclusion, air travellers deserve reliable and secure parking services. Let this serve as a reminder to thoroughly research parking providers and prioritise safety when leaving your vehicle in their care.

DAVENPORT GREEN HALL REPOSSESSED - Airport Parking & The Khan Family: A Tale of Fraud, Loss, & Legal Battles

Manchester, February 28, 2024 — The Khan family, once hailed as entrepreneurs, now faces the harsh reality of their criminal endeavours catching up with them. Their saga of deception, failed business ventures, and legal woes has left a trail of unpaid debts, shattered dreams, and prison sentences.

The Rise and Fall
Mohammed Isaq Akram Khan, who used a false date of birth to hide his bankruptcy, and wife Nina Raniya Khan, Granddaughter of Allama Mashriqi & Asia's top 100 business women, have been at the centre of dodgy business dealings for over four decades. Despite Nina’s claims of a six-figure salary in finance at the age of 32 & industry awards, their ventures have consistently failed. From wholesale carpets to manufacturing, and two wedding venues with notorious histories, their enterprises crumbled, leaving a wake of financial ruin.

Their most recent downfall? Airport parking fraud.
The Khans exploited Davenport Green Hall in Hale Barns, Greater Manchester, as an unofficial Manchester Airport car park. But their fraudulent trading caught up with them, and thanks to the determined efforts of Trafford Trading Standards resulted in Mohammed Isaq’s third stint in prison.

A House of Cards Collapses
After years of evasion, the inevitable arrived. On February 28, 2024, bailiffs padlocked the gates of Davenport Green Hall, sealing its fate. The once-grand Grade 2 listed building, which had also served as their home, now stands vacant. But this time, security, provided by one creditor, Aura Finance Ltd., ensures history won’t repeat itself.

A Fiery Past
The Khans’ misfortunes extend beyond Davenport Green Hall. Haslington Hall, a Grade 1 listed building near Crewe formerly owned by Mohammed Isaq, suffered a disastrous non-accidental fire. The wedding venue, which was subsequently repossessed, met a fiery end, leaving scars on their legacy and an unsolved crime.

The Final Roll of the Dice
On February 27, 2024, at Manchester County Court, the Khans made a desperate last stand. Nina Raniya Khan and Mohammed Isaq fought to thwart the repossession of their titles, Davenportgreen Hall Farm, the Coach House & Davenport Mansion. But justice prevailed, and the court finally ruled against them.

Auction
It’s believed the property and extensive grounds will be sold off, possibly by Strattons, who previously handled the auction of Haslington Hall. The proceeds of the sale will be used to settle Nina’s and Isaqs substantial debts which currently stands at £2.48 Million, with more debt held elsewhere as Mohammed Isaq has an ongoing confiscation hearing to recover their ill-gotten criminal gains.

As the dust settles, one truth remains: Crime doesn’t pay. The Khan family’s tale serves as a cautionary reminder that ill-gotten gains eventually crumble, leaving behind a legacy of loss and legal battles.
