I'm a Landlord (LTD Company) and I just both some properties for rental.

 

How should I classify the purchased properties ? is it a transfer to fixed assets?

Yes the property is a fixed asset, I suggest a fixed asset structure something like this

1234 some street

>> land
>> building

>> >> accumulated depreciation building


land is never depreciated.  Split the purchase price between land and building, use the ratio you calculate from the property tax form to determine the % for land and building
