NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Down Street Freehold Company Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. 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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover and activities
The company is the freehold owner of the property known as 22&23 Down Street and 12 &12 A Brick Street, W1J, London. Its activities are exclusively dedicated to the ownership of the freehold title and carrying out the responsibilities related thereto.

Its revenues comprise the ground rents and other receipts relating to the property's 29 long-term leasehold units and a management charge to the property's service charge fund in order to recover expenses incurred for independent professional services related to the governance of the company. This is recognised in the period to which it relates.

The company does not pay fees to any of its directors. The company's treasury operations (cash and bank movements and balances) are handled by First Port Group Limited, the managing agent of the property.

Investment property
Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from any changes in fair value since the introduction of FRS 102 Section 1A "Small Entities" will be recognised in the Income Statement.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax if applicable. A substantial part of the company's profits and losses, arising from activities with its members, is exempt from taxation.

The company's freehold is subject to residential and commercial leases.

The valuation of £50,000 is based on the directors' assessment of the freehold title´s value in use to the company at the date it was acquired, which is based on the capitalisation of future receipts of ground rent and assumes there is no cost of collection because such process is carried out by the property´s managing agent together with the collection of service charges.The directors consider that the valuation of the freehold at 31 December 2024 is unchanged.
