AHDC - Regeneration Express Ltd Website Editor June 2012 The city council and Arena housing have in the recent past blamed AHDC for this mess, therefore I have been further researching this subject. Quote: liverpool.gov.uk The Affordable Housing Development Company (AHDC) was selected in February 2006 as the preferred private sector "partner" in the Rockfield area and they carried out a refurbishment programme to tackle vacant properties owned by the City Council and Arena Housing in Tancred Road. Arena Housing is the lead Registered Social Landlord in the Anfield / Breckfield Renewal Area. However, the contract between Arena Housing and AHDC ended in May 2010. My research has revealed that AHDC (Rockfield) went into receivership sometime between July and November 2010 with liabilities of £88,083 and a net worth of £-1,530,527. Accounts filed on: 19/11/2010 for period to: 31/07/2010. There is something not quite right with AHDC - Rockfield. The address used by AHDC is 115 Craven Park Road South Tottenham London England N15 6BL. A quick search on Google Street lead me to VENITT AND GREAVES Chartered Accountants Registered to: Ms Betty Venitt - of 54 Parkside Drive, Edgware, Middlesex HA8 8JX Director Summary MARCH 2012 Mr Moshe Kraus has 10 company director or secretary appointments. (UPDATED: 11/06/2012 According to company-director-check.co.uk Moshe Kraus has mysteriously changed his name to Martin Kraus) Short name - Moshe Kraus Director ID : 915125088 Month/Year of Birth: 04/1947 Registered Address: 115 Craven Park Road South Tottenham London England N15 6BL Company Name

(R + D) LTD. Mr Moshe Kraus has 1 company director or secretary appointments. Short name - Moshe Kraus Director ID : 911539484 Month/Year of Birth: 04/1947 THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING DEVELOPMENT CO. (R + D) LTD. Appointment Date: 30/06/2006 Position: Director Company Status: Dissolved Current Directors Mr Moshe Kraus Director Summary MARCH 2012
Mr Martin Kraus has 18 company director or secretary appointments (a couple of interesting football related businesses). Short name - Martin Kraus Director ID : 907134778 Month/Year of Birth: 04/1947 Registered Address 33 Lenore Avenue Monsey New York USA Company Name
I believe that Moshe and Martin are the same man and some kind of business fraud has taken place. There is evidence that indicates Martin Kraus is Moshe and that Moshe Kraus is also a registered New York Real Estate business. Moshe Kraus in Monsey, NY is a private company which is listed under Real Estate Leasing and Rentals. Current estimates show this company has annual revenue of $140,000 and employs a staff of 2. Results from PeopleSmart:
Name: Martin M Kraus, 64 City, State: Monsey, NY Relatives: Chave Kraus, David Kraus, Martin Kraus, Ruth Kraus, Shaye Avigayil Kraus Name: Rachel Kraus, 61 City, State: Monsey, NY Relatives: Chave Kraus, David Kraus, Martin M Kraus, Martin Kraus, Shaye Avigayil Kraus In March of this year (2012)_ The Affordable Housing Development Co. (R+D) Ltd. did not exist (under this name) on the list of 10 company director or secretary appointments associated with Mr Moshe Kraus. Martin Kraus now has two Company Director ID numbers and Moshe Kraus has one - I'm not at all knowledgeable about company law - but, I always assumed that you could only have one Company Director ID number. Not too sure when or how this happened - I’ve not been on the company-director-check.co.uk website since March this year. Liverpool Football Club sold 10 properties to AHDC to enable a pilot scheme in Skerries Road to be carried out. The sale made it feasible for AHDC to refurbish the properties commercially and establish an asset base against which the company could raise additional development finance.
Thanks to the success of the pilot, AHDC bought 252 houses for £1 each from Arena Housing Association and Liverpool City Council, and claimed to be investing millions of pounds in the Rockfield Refurbishment Project. I knew that AHDC had bought the properties in Tancred road at prices well below market value, but I'm shocked that it was 252 houses for £1 each! I'm not sure who currently has legal ownership of the houses that AHDC bought but didn't refurbish. Research has shown that AHDC reformed as Regeneration Express Ltd – although I have not found any evidence that Moshe or Martin Kraus are involved with this new company.
Ian Robinson who was Chief Executive Officer of AHDC is now the Chief Executive Officer for Regeneration Express Ltd and Howard Waldman, the former operations manager at ADHC North West, is now the operations Manager for Regeneration Express Ltd.

Regeneration Express Ltd website
Regeneration Express LTD was formed in 2010 (Company Registration Date: 20/07/2009) by a group of committed regeneration professionals. In fact all of the staff at Regeneration Express are the staff and consultants for/of the Affordable Housing Company (AHDC) with whom, some of them had worked for up to 7 years.I suspect that - Liverpool city council and Arena housing were fully aware that this new company had been formed. Read: Property firms offer £300m to help solve Liverpool’s housing regeneration crisis Regeneration Express Ltd claim in a brochure on their website: Our work has successfully transformed houses in Skerries Road, Liverpool from 3 bedroom standard Victorian houses into homes that has at least 10 buyers’ waiting for each one of them as we were still building! The work being done is outstanding and offers an affordable home as well as a brilliant investment.. Ian Robinson: I told one housing regeneration colleague that she could have £100m within three months for a complete regeneration area, she found it difficult to believe. ‘She told me, "Clear off, I’m busy",’ he says. Working as a consultant, he introduced AHDC to a number of councils, but to no avail, until the company approached Liverpool. |
