    Dear gurus,

    I am a new Investor and just bought a house in a regional town. I plan to find a Quantity Surveyor to produce a Depreciation Schedule (ATO compliant). However, there is no Quantity Surveyor service in this or nearby towns. Is there other ATO compliant alternatives?

    Can estimated values by an estate agent satify the rules?

    Please advise. Much appreciated.

    Regards,
    Francis

    I’m back – been in Brisbane.
    Francis, estimating construction cost is something that only people with certain qualifications can do. Quantity Surveyors are at the top of the heap, but estimators and some builders can do it, too. Agents, accountants etc can’t.
    I’m assuming you do need the construction cost estimated? If it’s just the fixtures and fittings, you can estimate them yourself.
    If you can tell me where the property is and how old it is I will be able to give more assistance.
