i would like to know (for the purpose to calculate the building depreciation) the ratio of the capital cost to the property value in the following types of properties:
– apartment in CBD/city.
– apartment/unit in inner city.
– apartment/unit in outer city.does anyone have any information about it?
thanksit costs for not knowing
hard question huh?[cap]
pop into a library and find a copy of Rawlinsons Building Costs Guide – its a bible really – capable of answering your qu’s to the dollar – you can buy it of course (any good or bad bookstore).
If you can’t find it in a library then you need to find a friend who is a quantative surveyor or at least is a valuer – thats what i do..

I’m not entirely sure what you mean by:
i would like to know (for the purpose to calculate the building depreciation) the ratio of the capital cost to the property value…You can’t work out a construction cost estimate from the property value, if that’s what you’re getting at.
As Brahms said there is a building/QS industry book called Rawlinsons. It costs $2-300, so I’d try a library first.
Rawlinsons can tell you how much a property may have cost to build using square metre rates. Let’s say you’re looking at a 60sqm apartment in a Melbourne CBD block built in 2002. Using Rawlinsons you will be able to work out a rough construction cost.
The ATO clearly states that these figures will not be suitable for tax purposes.
