Notes to the Financial Statements |
for the Year Ended 31 December 2023 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Lowcock Properties Limited is a |
The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
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 stated unless otherwise stated. |
Turnover |
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
Tangible fixed assets |
Fixtures and fittings | - |
Motor vehicles | - |
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 |
Investments are recognised initially at fair value which is normally the transaction price excluding transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value through profit or loss if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably. Other investments are measured at cost less impairment. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Investment property |
Investment properties are measured at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. |
Valuation of investment properties |
The residential and non-residential investment land and properties have been valued at fair value by the directors. Whilst the directors are not professionally qualified valuers, they have a longstanding involvement in the local property market. |
The farm land is valued using an average market rate of UK agricultural land. |
Impairment |
Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |
Debtors and creditors receivable/payable within one year. |
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss in other administrative expenses. |
Provisions |
Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. |
