Clarges Mayfair Properties Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 7-12 Half Moon Street, Mayfair, London, W1J 7BH.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The company has net assets of £802,812 (2023: £819,144) as at 31 December 2024. The company's parent undertaking, Veladail Hotels Limited, has pledged its continuing support to the company. As at the balance sheet date, the company owed its parent £3,951,000 (2023: £3,910,000).

Subsequent to the year ended 31 December 2024, the company disposed of its investment property, being its principal asset. Management has indicated that a decision will be made in due course as to whether the company will be placed into liquidation or whether the proceeds will be reinvested in a new property. These events and conditions give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. On that basis, the directors concluded that the use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

Turnover represents rents receivable from lettings of properties.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Investment property, which is property held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, is initially recognised at cost, which includes the purchase cost and any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequently it is measured at fair value at the reporting end date. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss. .

The company recognises investment property when the risks and rewards of ownership remain with the company.

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Property valuation is a key accounting estimate, as it involves the determination of the fair value or carrying value of a property for financial reporting purposes. Property value represents a significant portion of a company's assets and has a significant impact on the financial statements. The value assigned to a property can affect key financial metrics such as the company's net worth, equity, and ratios. Property valuation is a complex process that involves numerous factors, such as location, condition, rental income, market trends, and legal considerations. These factors require professional expertise and judgment to arrive at a reasonable estimate of the property's value. Furthermore, the property value can change over time due to various factors such as market fluctuations, economic conditions, and property-specific factors, which introduce additional estimation uncertainties and require the use of professional judgment.

The investment property has been stated at a directors’ valuation of £9,408,320 (2023: £9,200,000) as at 31 December 2024, reflecting the value of the accepted offer for its sale, taking into account events occurring between the year end and the date of the offer, and excluding transaction costs.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

The investment property has been stated at a directors’ valuation of £9,408,320 (2023: £9,200,000) as at 31 December 2024, reflecting the value of the accepted offer for its sale, taking into account events occurring between the year end and the date of the offer, and excluding transaction costs.

On a historical cost basis the investment property would have been included at an original cost of £8,855,990 (2023: £8,855,990) and aggregate depreciation of £Nil (2023: Nil).

Bank loans are secured by a fixed and floating charge over the company’s assets and by a corporate guarantee provided by Veladail Hotels Limited. The loan was repaid subsequent to the year end following the disposal of the property.

Subsequent to the year ended 31 December 2024, the company disposed of its investment property and repaid the related loan.

The immediate parent company is Veladail Hotels Limited, a company registered in England and Wales. The ultimate holding company is Arrow Trading & Investments Est 1920, a company incorporated in Vaduz.

Material uncertainty related to going concern

We refer to Note 1.2 of the financial statements, which discloses that subsequent to the year ended 31 December 2024, the company disposed of its investment property, being its principal asset. Management has indicated that a decision will be made in due course as to whether the company will be placed into liquidation or whether the proceeds will be reinvested in a new property. As set out in Note 1.2, these events and conditions give rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
