All investment properties are carried at fair value determined annually and derived from the current market rents and investment property yields for comparable real estate, adjusted if necessary for any difference in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. No depreciation is provided for. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss account.
The directors have also made key assumptions in the determination of the fair value of the investment properties in respect of the state of the property market in the location where the property is situated and in respect of the range of reasonable fair value estimates of the asset.
