    Hi,

    Can anybody recommend any good quantity surveyors to do a depreciation schedule on my IP in the Sydney area? and what's the average price to have the schedule done?
    Thanks.

    Hi Blissy

    Why don't you use our free depreciation calculator:

    That way you can work out how much you can claim first!

    Hi DWolfe

    It really depends on the location and type of property.

    There is a section on our website to give a few details and we’ll send you a proper quote.

    have a great day

    Blissy  I  have no hessitation in recommending    "depreciator"   1300 66 00 3     http://www.depreciator.com.au  excellent service, excellent results, excellent savings , turned   -CF into +CF properties.      My price was only   $275.00 each    but I think I got a  good discount. I done mine on line and just sent them a copy of the building contracts. They did not charge for one because they said it is not worth doing a schedule.    It was  quick and easy.       It would cost more  I suppose to have an actual inspection.       They are  based in Sydney.  I will be using them again.

    We've used Scott from Depreciator and Piers from BMT – both fantastic at their jobs and highly recommended. You are better off finding a really good surveyor and speaking with them about coming to you. Most of them will travel around Australian or have people that work for them that they will send.

    I use Washington Brown for the QS report and Rentwise to convert it into my tax return. Both are Australia-wide.

    try JR Quantity Surveyors, Sydney….. they did a thorough inspection on my property. ….rather pay to have it done properly….once in a life time investment for us and worth it. my accountant strongly recommend against having it done on line without inspecting the property .they tend to miss stuffss

    We have had our four depreciation schedules done by Australian Tax Depreciation Services (ATDS).  They are excellent.  They charge $495 which includes a site visit, which is preferable.  Very happy with them.  We've just bought another property and will be going with ATDS for that schedule also.
    They have offices in all states of Australia too.

    Blissy, whoever you go with, make sure they conduct a thorough inspection of your IP. This will greatly assist you should the ATO ever challenge any depreciation claim.

    Here is some more info on depreciation reports: http://blog.rentwise.com.au/index.php/2010/05/18/depreciation-reports-please-explain

    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.
