Nelsam Properties Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Swift House, Ground Floor, 18 Hoffmanns Way, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 1GU.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
These financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2025 are the first financial statements of Nelsam Properties Limited prepared in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. The date of transition to FRS 102 was 1 October 2023. The reported financial position and financial performance for the previous period are not affected by the transition to FRS 102.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.
The determination of fair value for investment property at the balance sheet date involves the application of significant judgment and the use of estimates that are subject to uncertainty. These estimates are influenced by factors such as current market conditions, and the availability and relevance of comparable property data including transaction prices for similar properties.
Given the inherent volatility and variability of the property market, actual results may differ from the assumptions used at the reporting date. As a result, changes in these underlying factors could lead to adjustments to the reported fair value in future periods.
The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:
The investment properties comprise of three properties. The fair value of the investment properties has been arrived at on the basis of a valuation carried out by the director as at 30 September 2025. The valuation was made on an open market basis by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties.
Ordinary shares issued by the company have full voting, dividend, and capital distribution rights.
Ordinary P and Ordinary J shares issued by the company have no voting rights, discretionary dividend rights, and are limited to returns of paid-up capital in the event of a capital distribution.
This set of financial statements is the first prepared under the requirements of FRS102. There are no significant changes in the accounting policies adopted, with the exception of investment property held by the entity now being measured at fair value, with movements in fair value shown in the fair value reserve.
The transition from the previous financial reporting framework did not affect the reported financial position and financial performance of the company, and did not give rise to any movements in equity.
The prior period has been adjusted to include £145,122 of interest income on a loan made to a connected company, the balance was previously included in the intercompany account as amounts due over one year and has been reallocated to interest receivable. Brought forward profit and loss reserves have increased by £145,122 in respect of this. There was an additional corporation tax charge of £34,858.75 in respect of this adjustment which has reduced brought forward profit and loss reserves by this amount.
The prior period has been adjusted to reallocate £1,800,000 of amounts owed to related parties which were previously included as 'creditors: amounts falling due after more than one year' to instead be shown as 'creditors: amounts falling due within one year'. £61,000 included within prior year debtors have also been reallocated against 'creditors: amounts falling due within one year' to reflect an intercompany transaction that was not captured in the prior year accounts.
These adjustments have had no effect upon prior year reserves.
