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 />
