Friend,
Since you have a sole proprietory firm and assuming that you are proprietor of the same, if you purchase a property which is to be solely used for business purposes of that firm, you may purchase it in your name and you may charge depreciation as per provisions of Income Tax Act, 1961 and such property will be shown in the Balance-sheet of the firm and in the P&L you will charge the depreciation. Cost of purchase of property cannot be debited to P&L account as expense as nature of transaction is not of revenue nature.
