Accounting policies |
|
|
Basis of preparation |
|
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard). |
|
|
Turnover |
|
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the rental of properties and from management services provided. Turnover is recognised when invoiced for the period for which it is due. Rental income received in advance at the year end is carried forward to the following accounting period. |
|
|
Tangible fixed assets |
|
Plant and machinery within tangible fixed assets is measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Land and buildings within tangible fixed assets are revalued annually using a fair market value and not depreciated. Depreciation where provided on tangible fixed assets, is at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: |
|
|
Plant and machinery |
15% reducing balance |
|
Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment |
25% reducing balance |
|
|
Freehold investment properties |
|
Investment properties are revalued annually using a fair market value. To ascertain the property values the rents achievable, the strength of the tenant covenant and the comparable values of similar properties are all taken into account. Any surplus or deficit is dealt with through the profit and loss account. No depreciation is provided in respect of investment properties. |
|
|
Debtors |
|
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. |
|
|
Creditors |
|
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method. |
|
|
Taxation |
|
A current tax liability is recognised for the tax payable on the taxable profit of the current and past periods. A current tax asset is recognised in respect of a tax loss that can be carried back to recover tax paid in a previous period. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences between the recognition of income and expenses in the financial statements and their inclusion in tax assessments. 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference, except for revalued land and investment property where the tax rate that applies to the sale of the asset is used. Current and deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. Deferred tax has been provided on property valuations where, based on the property values shown in the accounts, it is likely that a liability will arise. |
|
|
Provisions |
|
Provisions (ie liabilities of uncertain timing or amount) are recognised when there is an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that economic benefit will be transferred to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. |
|
|
Tenant deposits |
|
Residential tenant deposits are held in a nominated Client Premium Account. All money standing in credit in the account is client money and has no right of set-off, lien or charges by the issuing bank, guarantor or other creditors and is used purely for the purpose of holding tenant monies. Commercial tenant deposits are held in a designated deposit account. |
|
|
Capital and fair value reserves |
|
In accordance with provision in the company's articles of association, the directors credit profits on sale of properties (net of related corporation tax) to the Capital Reserve. This reserve is considered by the directors to be non-distributable, retaining funds within the company for future property purchases. |
|
Revaluations of freehold investment properties, along with any associated deferred tax, are transferred from the profit and loss account to the fair value reserve as such gains/losses are unrealised and therefore not distributable. This thereby ensures that the profit and loss reserve remains fully distributable. |
