The financial statements of Savile Row 1 Limited (registered number:
|
P Mechura
Director |
The principal accounting policies are summarised below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the financial year and to the preceding financial year, unless otherwise stated.
Savile Row 1 Limited (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office is Second Floor, 19-20 Berners Street, London, W1T 3NW, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified to include certain items at fair value, and in accordance with ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland’ issued by the Financial Reporting Council, including Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102 (FRS102), and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 2).
The functional currency of Savile Row 1 Limited is considered to be pounds sterling because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates.
These financial statements are separate financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and have considered relevant information about the future, including the Company’s financial position and support from the wider group.
At the balance sheet date, the Company had net liabilities totalling £2,617,429 (2024: £9,705,490). The Company is reliant on the continued financial support of the group, with total loan liabilities of £74,427,360 (2024: £66,357,359) due to group companies, split as £10,945,737 (2024: £6,710,736) being due within one year and £63,481,623 (2024: £59,646,623) being due in more than one year. The directors have received confirmation from the group that financial support will continue for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
Based on this assessment, the directors are satisfied that the Company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and have therefore adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.
Exchange differences are recognised in the Profit and Loss Account in the period in which they arise on monetary items.
Finance costs are charged to the Profit and Loss Account over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount.
Current tax is provided at amounts expected to be paid (or recoverable) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the Balance Sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises as a result of including items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in the Company's financial statements. Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation to pay more or less tax at a future date, at the average tax rates that are expected to apply when the timing differences reverse, based on enacted or substantively enacted tax rates and laws. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Assets, other than those measured at fair value, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each Balance Sheet date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account as described below.
The fair value is determined annually by the directors with reference to available market evidence. In assessing fair value, the directors consider historic valuations prepared by appropriately qualified external valuers together with subsequent sales activities, offers received and other relevant market information available at the reporting date. The directors adjust for any differences in nature, location or condition of the specific property and consider the resulting values to represent fair value at the reporting date.
Trade and other creditors are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
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.
Financial assets and liabilities are only offset in the Balance Sheet when, and only when there exists a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and the Company intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets
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 assets are derecognised when and only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or are settled, or the Company transfers to another party substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or the Company, despite having retained some, but not all, significant risks and rewards of ownership, has transferred control of the asset to another party.
Basic financial 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.
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.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the Balance Sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using the cash flows estimated to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows (when the effect of the time value of money is material).
When some or all of the economic benefits required to settle a provision are expected to be recovered from a third party, a receivable is recognised as an asset if it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received and the amount of the receivable can be measured reliably.
Valuation of investment properties
The determination of the fair value of investment properties represents a significant area of judgement. The directors have determined fair values with reference to historic valuations prepared by appropriately qualified professional valuers and have considered subsequent sales activities, post year-end offers and other available market evidence which they believe is indicative of conditions existing at the reporting date. Given the unique nature of individual properties and the judgement required in assessing and interpreting market evidence, there is a degree of estimation uncertainty in the reported valuations and actual sale proceeds may differ from the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
Recoverability of VAT receivable
The Company was registered for VAT during the year and submitted its initial VAT returns, including claims relating to input VAT incurred in prior periods and the quarter ended 31 December 2025. At 31 December 2025, a VAT receivable of £2,373,348 was recognised within debtors.
The directors have exercised significant judgement in concluding that the full amount of the VAT receivable is recoverable and should therefore be recognised as an asset at the balance sheet date. In reaching this conclusion, the directors considered the nature of the underlying expenditure, the Company's entitlement to recover the VAT claimed and the information available from HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC") at the date of approval of the financial statements.
The claims remain subject to review by HMRC and the amounts have not been repaid at the date of approving the financial statements. The directors understand that such enquiries are common in relation to initial VAT repayment claims of this size and, based on the information currently available, are not aware of any specific challenge by HMRC to the validity of the claims submitted. Accordingly, the directors consider it appropriate to recognise the full VAT receivable at 31 December 2025.
Should information become available which indicates that some or all of the amounts claimed are not recoverable, the carrying value of the VAT receivable may require adjustment in a future reporting period.

The investment property is part freehold and part long leasehold.
The fair value of investment property at 31 December 2025 was determined by the directors. The directors' assessment took into account valuations performed by Cushman & Wakefield, an independent firm of RICS-qualified valuers, as at 31 December 2024 and subsequent market evidence, including sales activities and offers received in respect of the property. The directors considered this information to provide an appropriate basis for estimating fair value at the reporting date.
