Included in freehold land and buildings is land of value £2.3m (2021: £2.8m).
The Company’s freehold land and buildings are stated at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The fair value measurements of freehold land and buildings as at 11 November 2022 were performed by Hurst Warne & Partners Surveyors Ltd, independent valuers not related to the Company. Hurst Warne & Partners Surveyors Ltd is registered for regulation by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“RICS”). The valuation process relies on expert judgement which is heightened due to the macroeconomic related uncertainty. The valuer has sufficient current local knowledge of the particular market, and the knowledge, skills and understanding to undertake the valuation competently. The fair value of the freehold land was undertaken using a residual valuation assuming a new build office on each site to an exact equivalent size as currently and disregarding the possibility of developing any alternative uses or possible enhancements. The fair value of the buildings was determined based on open market comparable evidence of market rent. The fair value measurement of revalued land and buildings has been categorised as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy based on the non-observable inputs to the valuation technique used. Revaluations during 2022 comprise a loss of £0.5m recognised in profit or loss, a gain of £0.5m recognised in other comprehensive income (gross of tax of £0.3m), partially reversing previously recognised gains of £4.3m (gross of tax of £0.7m), and the elimination of depreciation on the revaluations of £0.8m. If freehold land and buildings were stated on the historical cost basis, the carrying values would be land of £3.6m (2021: £3.6m) and buildings of £4.4m (2021: £4.6m).
Right-of-use assets are property assets leased by the Group (see note 26).
