Seymours Estate Agents (Dorking) 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. The company's principal place of business is 27 South Street, Dorking, Surrey, RH4 2JZ.

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS 102 1A) "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. Unless indicated otherwise in the accounting policies below, the financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Turnover

Turnover represents the fair value of services provided in the ordinary course of the business, excluding Value Added Tax. In the case of property sales, commission receivable is recognised at the date of exchange of properties.

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the original purchase price and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use.

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery etc - 20% on cost and over the period of the lease

On disposal the difference between net proceeds and the carrying amount of the item sold is recognised in the income statement and is included in administrative expenses.

Taxation

Current tax is the amount of corporation tax payable in respect of the taxable profit for the period or prior periods. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end.

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the company's taxable profits and its results as stated in the financial statements.

Deferred tax is measured at the average tax rates that are expected to apply in the periods in which timing differences are expected to reverse, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is measured on a non-discounted basis.

Operating leasing commitments

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. The benefits of lease incentives are recognised in the income statement over the lease period.
