Depreciation

We are currently running a 10 part depreciation series here at On Property.

I was lucky enough to score an in person interview with the managing director of BMT Quantity Surveyors – The largest quantity surveyor business in Australia.

They have hundreds of staff all over Australia and Brad is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to depreciation for investment properties.

Calculating depreciation on a property can be extremely difficult. Not only do you need to calculate the depreciation on the build itself, but you also need to calculate the “plant and equipment” which all depreciates at varying rates.
