Investment properties are carried at fair value in accordance with FRS 102 Section 16. The fair value of the property at the year end has been determined by reference to an independent valuation prepared by Allcott Associates LLP, who are RICS-qualified valuers. The valuation was carried out on 11 November 2024 using the market approach, reflecting the amount for which the property could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s-length transaction.
The value of the investment property has been determined by the Directors to not have materially changed by the accounting period end.
At the balance sheet date, the investment property was valued at £294,000 (prior year: £230,166). This resulted in a revaluation gain of £63,834, which has been recognised in the profit and loss account for the year.
