Repairs, £41,610 the figure is adjusted reflecting the repairs accrual in 2024/25 accounts and this figure includes the remaining costs for 8 and 10 Salacre Terrace and garden that were completed at the start of the financial year along with a new boiler at 5 Salacre Terrace.

Debtors in 2026 are significantly lower at £16,537, compared to £48,211in 2025; current debtors comprise £14,427 held by the managing agents for both, approved and scheduled work not completed before the year end and a float for emergency works, along with arrears of £1,725. The majority of the arrears resulting from the timing of the year end and the tenants’ payment date falling after their rent due date and the year end cut off.

In 2026 Creditors have reduced to £21,548 compared to £40,020 in 2025 and comprise corporation tax and Director’s renumeration, accountancy fees and the provision for the remaining contractor costs.

The current cycle of electrical test remedial works is underway with most of the properties falling due in 2026, some of these expenses will fall into the 2026/27 financial year.

Revenue represents rents received.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Investment properties are revalued annually. Surpluses or deficits on individual properties are transferred to profit and loss account in line with FRS 102 and the fair value provisions of Companies Act 2006.

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.
