Investment properties – International Standards (IAS)
•Investors have a choice of showing investment properties at either market value (“fair value”) or “cost”
•See the owner-occupied section for details on the “cost” model (with one extra bit for IP owners: investors must still declare the value in a note to the account)

Investment properties – International Standards (IAS)
•The fair value model means that the company needs to use an annual up to date valuation, undertaken by a suitably qualified value
•The valuer does not need to be independent of the company
•Movements in value pass through the income statement

Investment properties – UK gaap
•Unlike IAS where there is a choice, under UK gaap investors must revalue their investment properties
•The movement in values goes to the balance sheet (not the income statement) onto a line called the revaluation reserve.

Owner-occupied properties
•Investors may either revalue the property or show it at cost•The “cost” option involves splitting the purchase price (together with fees) between the land and building elements•There is a presumption that the land element does not depreciate but that the building does •If the owner opts for the valuation option then the movement in value passes through the revaluation reserve on the balance sheet and not the income statement

Trading properties
•Trading properties are treated like “stock”
•They are held on the balance sheet at the LOWER of purchase price (plus fees) and sales value (after sales costs)
