Hi Depreciator,
I'm looking for value for money - not necessarily the cheapest.
I understand that the more affordable option which involves me providing information/photos to the company (corpred) who then create the schedule may result in a schedule that omits a number of depreciable items (which may have been picked up if a surveyor visited the property).
Are there any other issues I should be wary of?
In short, the advice I got from them was:
IP 1 - 40 year old, renovated 2 br unit (new kitchen, paint, vanity, bathroom cupboards) - $3,200 minimum depreciation in first calendar year.
IP 2 - 50 year old, 3 br house (1 bath) 100m2 living, 5 year old kitchen, renovated bathroom (5 years old) - $3,800 minimum depreciation in first calendar year.
IP 3 - 4 year old townhouse, two story, 3-2-2 (140m2 living) - $5k minimum depreciation in first calendar year (seems low compared to older properties above getting $3k+)
Cheers,
Jamie
