Note 1.2. – Investment properties
A property that is held for long-term rental yields or for capital appreciation or both, and that is not occupied by the companies in the consolidated
Group, is classified as investment property. An investment property is measured initially at its cost, including related transaction costs and where
applicable borrowing costs. After initial recognition, an investment property is carried at fair value. Management has obtained a valuation from
external valuer to support the fair market value determined by management.
Fair value is based on active market prices, adjusted, if necessary, for differences in the nature, location or condition of the specific asset. The
principles and methods for determining the estimated fair value of the properties in this category is based on the capitalisation method. The deter-
mination of fair values in accordance to the capitalisation method is generally the most accepted and widely used model for valuating property. The
method is based on a stabilised net rent, capitalised at a rate of return assuming a stabilised property in a stable market, which is fully let at an
annual market rent at, or close to, market level. For non-stabilised properties, special conditions such as vacancy and refurbishment costs are
taken into consideration. Only when stable market rent information is not available, the Group uses valuation methods to calculate the fair value,
such as recent transacted prices or identified bids to purchase or specific bids for similar assets or use discounted cash flow projections with market
yields. The fair value of an investment property reflects, among other things, rental income from current leases and other assumptions market
participants would make when pricing the property under current market conditions. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset’s carrying
amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. When part of an investment property is replaced, the
carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised.
Changes in fair values are recognised in the income statement. Investment properties are derecognised when they have been disposed. Where the
Group disposes of a property at fair value in an arm’s length transaction, the carrying value immediately prior to the sale is adjusted to the transac-
tion price, and the adjustment is recorded in the income statement within net gain from fair value adjustment on investment property.
The principles and methods for determining the estimated fair value of the properties in this category is based on the capitalisation method. The
determination of fair values in accordance to the capitalisation method is generally the most accepted and widely used model for valuating property.
The method is based on a stabilised net rent, capitalised at a rate of return assuming a stabilised property in a stable market, which is fully let at an
annual market rent at, or close to, market level. For non-stabilised properties, special conditions such as vacancy and refurbishment costs are
taken into consideration.
The Market Valuation of the properties could vary from year to year based on changes i the market yield and market rent, but also could be im-
pacted when the properties or units are either significantly changed in quality (upgraded or otherwise) or from change of usage, which in itself
would change the applicable market rents. Furthermore reduction or change in vacancy can impact in valuations, based on the real rent achieved
from leases compared to assumed market rents, and the actual capex compared to the refurbishment capex assumed in previous valuations.On a
overall portfolio basis the average market yield could vary from year to year based on yields of the properties sold or acquired during the year or
change in the market in general.
The fair value of a property is calculated by the following process:
1 + Annual Rental Income (fully rented) 2 - Non-recoverable operating costs 3 = Net Operating Income (NOI) 4 - Cap rate (net initial yield) 5 = Market value before regulations and deposits 6 - Vacancy costs 7 - Refurbishment cost
