Accounting policies
Company information
Coleherne Court Freehold Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Block K Coleherne Court, The Estate Office, The Little Boltons, London, SW5 0DL.
1.1
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
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 £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include the revaluation of freehold properties and to include investment properties and certain financial instruments at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Going concern
Atruet the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3
Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services provided in the normal course of business.
Turnover is recognised in the same period within which the services are provided.
1.4
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Ground rents receivable -
capitalised using a 7% yield.
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.
1.5
Fixed asset investments
Interests in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.6
Impairment of fixed assets
At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
1.7
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
1.8
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

The company originally purchased during 1995 the remaining term of a 65 year head lease which was granted over the Coleherne Court Estate in 1972. During the year ended 25 December 1996, the original head lease was surrendered and a new long head lease was granted by the freeholder with under leases for matching periods being granted to those who wished to participate.
During the year ended 25 December 1997, the company had the opportunity to purchase the freehold of the estate and did so at a cost of £173,445, merging the head lease interests already held which were then extinguished, subject to the long under leases previously granted.
All costs in connection with the above, including professional fees were met from non-interest bearing loans previously advanced.
All such costs which had been capitalised at £406,488 at 25 December 1996, with accumulated depreciation of £2,364 together with further expenditure of £173,445 in the year to 25 December 1997 were reduced, through an exceptional charge to the profit and loss account in the year ended 25 December 1997, to the capitalised value of ground rents receivable adopting a 7% yield. This was originally calculated at £45,000. The net book value at 25 December 2025 reflects the capitalised value of current ground rents receivable.
