Are you targeting property investors?

Property investors can be one of the hardest to market to as they don't necessarily need to fall in love with the modern kitchen or bathroom in the plans of the property in order to make that purchase decision. Investors are generally more focussed on the bottom line and 'will the numbers add up as a solid investment property' when they consider potential developments. One free tool which can help you put a potential investor at ease is a tax depreciation estimate. The depreciation estimate shows potential buyers the depreciation deductions available for the property.

What is depreciation?

Depreciation is the wear and tear of a building structure and the plant and equipment assets within it. The Australian Tax Office (ATO) allows property investors to claim this depreciation as a tax deduction. Depreciation is a non-cash deduction, meaning investors do not need to spend any money to be able to claim it.

How does a tax depreciation estimate work?

A tax depreciation estimate ensures investors can easily assess their after-tax cash position if they were to purchase one of your properties. The estimate shows both the yearly minimum and maximum range of depreciation totals, including the breakdown between the expected depreciable plant and equipment items within the building and the capital works deduction for the structure of the building.
