Hi Michael!
I think you would find that, though some solicitors can provide a vendor’s list of depreciable fittings you are actually economically better off hiring a QS yourself to do it, as they will usually place a higher value on such items and find things that you or your accountant may miss. They usually charge anywhere from $385-$800 depending on where you live, and their schedules can make quite a difference to your tax return! If your property is negatively geared, having a QS report can shave even more dollars off your taxable income, especially if you plan to renovate.
