Sounds to me like you've answered your own question.
In these repairs vs. capital improvements it really can be a case by case basis and lots of grey areas.
On the face of it….i'd probably start with a repair….
If you don't start that way – you'll never be able to go back.

If it's soooo good – why do they need to sell it to Aussies! Surely all the Americans would buy?
At one property expo I exhibited at recently….about a third of the stands were all selling US properties.
That made me worried!

You can see all the submissions here in relation to removal of depreciation.
http://www.treasury.gov.au/ConsultationsandReviews/Submissions/2012/Business-tax-reform/Submissions
I think they should increase to 4% building allowance to encourage investment and save money.
If you're interested read the Washington Brown submission.

Hi
As you are not settling until July…..you won’t be able to claim anything this financial year.
The report will start from Settlement.
Might be best to organise the QS to inspect just prior to settlement – so as to not disturb the tenants if you have one immediately.

Hi
I have strong views on this topic. You can’t “self assess” the construction costs and it’s not supported by our Institute.
http://www.washingtonbrown.com.au/tax-depreciation-tips#tip6
Further – read Tip 11 here:
http://www.washingtonbrown.com.au/quantity-surveyor-corner
You now need to make sure anyone you are dealing with is a Registered Tax Agent here:

Hi Plee
That's a really good question.
With regards to World Square – we act for Meriton Apartments – so we have all the plans, specs and costs etc.
So you could feel more comfortable using us in this interest.

TR 97 / 25 Par 28 indicates who can estimate the construction costs where the costs are unknown. Valuers and accountants CANNOT the Par reads like this:
28. Appropriately qualified people might include:
·
a quantity surveyor, who has expertise in the relevant type of construction;
·
a clerk of works, such as a project organiser for major building projects;
·
a supervising architect who approves payments at each stage in major projects and who may approve individual payments to subcontractors in smaller projects; or
·
a builder who is experienced in estimating construction costs of similar building projects
Paragraph 27 highlights who caonot:
27. Unless they are otherwise qualified, valuers, real estate agents, accountants and solicitors generally have neither the relevant qualifications nor experience to make such an estimate.
