Glen House Estates Limited is a |
2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
Glen House Estates Limited is a company limited by shares and is incorporated in England and Wales, registration number 00728574. The registered office is Glen House, Glen Road, Grayshott, Hindhead, Surrey GU26 6NF. |
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest pound. The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years unless otherwise stated. |
3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of certain assets. |
Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
The financial statements contain information about Glen House Estates Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have been made in the process of applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements: |
Provisions against receivables |
Using information available up to the date the financial statements have been approved, the Directors make judgments based on experience regarding the level of provision required to account for potentially uncollectible receivables. |
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year include: |
Useful life of fixed assets |
Tangible assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The useful lives of these assets are estimated based on historic experience and future considerations and these are re-assessed annually. |
Valuation of Investment Properties |
Investment properties are generally held at the most recent valuation. Where there has been no formal valuation carried out at the balance sheet date, the directors will review the current stated values to ensure they appear reasonable. If required the valuation of investment properties would be held at management valuations, based on their knowledge of the market. |
Turnover |
Turnover represents the total rents receivable under operating leases for the year. Rents are included net of VAT on properties where the option to tax has been exercised. |

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Tangible fixed assets |
Freehold land and buildings are shown at the most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in market values is transferred to a revaluation reserve. |
Depreciation is provided at the following rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Land and buildings | - Not depreciated / held at valuation |
Plant & machinery etc | - 25% on reducing balance |
Investment property |
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in the Profit and Loss. |
Investment properties purchased in the year are stated at cost including stamp duty and other purchase costs. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Fixed asset investments |
Unlisted investments are stated at cost less any provision for impairment. |
