From 1 April 2011 all housing properties have been<br />
split between their land and structure costs and a<br />
specific set of major components which require periodic<br />
replacement.<br />
Replacement or restoration of such major components<br />
is capitalised and depreciated over the estimated<br />
individual useful economic life of the component as<br />
follows:<br />
Component<br />
Useful Economic Life (years)<br />
Structure – new build 100<br />
Structure – rehabilitated 50<br />
Kitchens 20<br />
Bathrooms 30<br />
Roof 60<br />
Boiler 15<br />
Full heating system 30<br />
Windows and doors 25<br />
Depreciation on non housing property stock is charged<br />
on a straight line basis over the expected useful<br />
economic lives of the assets at the following rates:<br />
Asset<br />
Useful Economic Life (years)<br />
freehold and long leasehold<br />
offices to residual value 15<br />
fixtures and fittings 10<br />
IT equipment 3 – 5<br />
leasehold improvements<br />
over the term<br />
of the lease<br />
Assets in the course of construction are held at cost<br />
and are not depreciated until reclassified as housing<br />
properties completed.<br />
An annual impairment review of housing properties is<br />
undertaken in accordance with FRS 11 ‘Impairment<br />
of Fixed Assets and Goodwill’, and where appropriate<br />
the carrying value is adjusted to take account of<br />
permanent diminutions in value.<br />
