    Does anyone know or heard that if you keep a property for 15 years, any depreciation claimed over that period of time does not need to be incoporated into cost base of the property. Is this correct?

    Never heard that one. Can’t believe it either, that sounds like the government is not clawing back all the money that they can. If you get confirmation either way, it would be good to know.

    Actually, on second thoughts, I think that there might be a basis in that for commercial properties, but not residential, and I think they have to be owned in your own name to get this benefit.
