What is Investment property?

Land and buildings held to earn rental income, for capital appreciation, or both.

Investment property can be measured using the cost model or the fair value model. Under the fair value model, changes in value are recognised directly in profit or loss and no depreciation is charged.

Property used in the entity's own operations falls not within this scope but within property, plant and equipment.
