| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
| The financial statements contain information about First City (Holdings) Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 from the requirements to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
| Changes in accounting policies |
| During the year the directors reclassified various properties owned by the company from freehold to investment property. This change was reflected in the current and prior year balance sheet, there was no effect on the profit and loss or retained earnings of the company in either year and as a result the prior year balance sheet is not shown as restated. Directors believe this classification more accurately reflects the operations of the company. |
| Turnover |
| The turnover shown in the profit and loss account is the amount receivable for the provision of goods and services falling within the Company's activities, net of Value Added Tax, rebates and trade discounts. |
| Turnover from the provision of goods and services are recognised in the accounting period in which the Company obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance and when the amounts to be recognised are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. |

| Investment property |
