We will visit your property and assess the extent and timing of future capital expenditure required on the common property. The forecast for each annual proportional share over the next 9 years after this financial year is calculated including G.S.T. and assumes a 5% annual increase in building costs.
As Quantity Surveyors we are qualified to assess, check and agree Builders progress claims for work completed on any construction project. We are members of the 'Panel of Quantity Surveyors' reporting to the major bank responsible for a high percentage of Construction Finance in Australia.
I just purchased a newly constructed house, is it worth my while having a Tax Depreciation schedule carried out? Yes, it certainly is. As the owner of a new property you can expect the maximum deduction per year against your total income. My investment property is an old Queenslander, there have been renovations carried out prior to purchasing the property, can I claim those as depreciable items?
