As a stark contrast, Depreciator was exceedingly helpful and friendly.

"This year I purchased an investment property and also tenanted my home in Queensland, so I needed to get taxation depreciations schedules for both properties. I rang around some Quantity Surveyors in Queensland to find out about the services offered, and was shocked. Some wanted me to supply floor plans and fill out their forms, and some didn't even visit the properties they were doing the depreciation schedules on. As a stark contrast, Depreciator was exceedingly helpful and friendly. Although they are in NSW they service all Queensland investors. I was also impressed on the feed back I got from my tenants on how friendly and polite Depreciator were. Even though neither of my properties are new I was still able to claim more than I had expected. I have recommended Depreciator to several friends and will use them in the future. Thanks guys for all your help.

Methods of Depreciation
Do you know about the hidden cash flow sitting
in your investment property?

There are two methods of depreciation to choose from: Prime Cost and Diminishing Value. Depreciation Schedules must contain both methods, but not all do. Your accountant will help you work out which method best suits you. One thing to bear in mind is that when you start off using one method, you can’t swap to the other method. The treatment of Assets in the Low Value Pool also differs between the methods.
