Revenue inclues gross rental income, management fee income, income from service charges and other recoveries from tenants.
Rental income
Rental income from properties let as operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives and initial costs to arrange leases are capitalised, then amortised on a straight-line basis over the lease term ('rent averaging'). Surrender premiums received in the period are included in rental income.
Chases in the scope or the consideration for a lease, that was not part of the original terms and conditions, which might arise as a result of lease concessions, are accounted as a lease modification. Lease modifications are accounted for as a new lease from the effective date of the modification, considering any prepaid or accrued lease payments relating to the origincal lease as part of the lease payments for the new lease.
Service charges and other recoveries from tenants
These include income in relation to service charges, directly recoverable expenditure and management fees. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the period in which the services are rendered. Revenue from sercives is recognised ased on the actial service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided and recognised over time. Where the company acts as a principal, service charge income is presented gross within revenue and service charge expense presented gross within costs.
