1Accounting Policies

Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts
Accounting Convention

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention.

Compliance with accounting standards

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), which have been applied consistently (except as otherwise stated).

Turnover policy
Turnover represents amounts receivable for rental property net of VAT.

Tangible assets depreciation policy
Investment properties are included in the balance sheet at their open market value. Depreciation is provided on those investment properties which are leasehold and where the unexpired lease term is less than 20 years.

Although this accounting policy is in accordance with the applicable accounting standard, SSAP 19, Accounting for Investment Properties, it is a departure from the general requirement of the Companies Act 2006 for all tangible assets to be depreciated. In the opinion of the directors compliance with the standard is necessary for the financial statements to give a true and fair view. Depreciation or amortisation is only one of the many factors reflected in the annual valuation and the amount of this which might otherwise have been charged cannot be separately identified or quantified.

Other accounting policies
Work in progress

Work in progress is valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Deferred Taxation

Deferred tax is provided in full in respect of taxation deferred by timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. The deferred tax balance has not been discounted.
