Investment properties are valued to reflect fair value, that is,
the market value of the Group’s interest at the reporting date
excluding any special terms or circumstances relating to the
use or financing of the property and transaction costs that
would be incurred in making a sale. Observed market data
such as rental yield, replacement cost and useful life, reflect
relatively few transactions involving property that, necessarily,
is not identical to property owned by the Group.
Valuations are carried out by qualified surveyors who are
members of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, or an
equivalent overseas body. The valuation as at 31 December
2007 for a significant majority of the Group’s investment
properties was undertaken by external valuers.
The fair value of investment properties includes £234 million
(2006 – £451 million) of appreciation since purchase.
Rental income from investment properties was £300 million
(2006 – £278 million; 2005 – £250 million). Direct operating
expenses of investment properties were £49 million (2006 –
£54 million; 2005 – £61 million).
Property, plant and equipment, excluding investment
properties, include £717 million (2006 – £607 million) assets in
the course of construction.
Freehold and long leasehold properties with a net book value
of £451 million (2006 – £164 million; 2005 – £63 million) were
sold subject to operating leases.
