MBATXguy:  To answer question in a short way.. I would record utilities as a separate expense from repairs. Also, you should separate Land from Cottages because one is dealing with a fixed structure, while other is place where the structure is attached.. You can have it roll up though however to: Property, Plant and Equipment You just may want to keep this separate on your subledgers..

Doctor Deth:  land and building should be separate accts - you depreciate building, but not land so you need to separate them put each different TYPE of expense in a different general ledger acct - rent, utilities, vehicle expenses, etc - each in a different acct
