    I'm sorry, I did of course mean depreciated.

    Thank you.

    Can I assume the 'can' in your reply implies there are various reasons why you can not depreciate?

    Thanks

    Cost or fair value model.

    If you're reading FRS 102 I'd advise you to read IAS 40 alongside it.

    FRS 102 is quite short and barely touches the surface - yes it was developed to be easier to work with, but for full answers you'll need the full IAS / FRS, even if it for an explanation of X event.

    From memory; within FRS 102, investment property takes up chapter 16 - so not much.

    Without searching through IAS 40, the wording flows (similar to..) as; if an investment property can not be measured at a fair value, without breaking the bank in getting it valued - each period, then the cost method should be used and treated as PPE.
