The investment property is included on the balance sheet at purchase price in January 2019 together with associated fees. Depreciation is not provided on the investment property as would have usually been expected. The directors consider that the property is held for investment purposes and that annual depreciation would be inappropriate for the accounts to show a true and fair view.
