In preparing the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025, the directors identified that depreciation had not been charged on rental properties in the years ended 31 July 2022, 31 July 2023 and 31 March 2024. This was not in compliance with FRS 105 requirements.
The error has been corrected retrospectively by charging cumulative depreciation of £46,878 to opening reserves at 1 April 2024. Comparative figures for year ended 31 March 2024 have been restated accordingly.
Depreciation is now charged annually on a straight‑line basis over the estimated useful life of the properties.
