Section 3 - Renovations / Capital Works

Renovations are usually major changes made to the original property that form part of the property but is not an inclusion.  Eg: updating the kitchen cupboards is a renovation but putting in a new oven is not a renovation and should be made part of the inclusions.

In this section we need what was done, when it was done (month & year) and how much it cost.  If you do not have receipts or proof of works carried out or details of the renovation works from the council you cannot include it as part of your worksheet. In this instance it may be advisable for you to opt for the Premium Package Option where we conduct an on-site inspection (by one of our qualified building inspectors) of your property and provide an estimate of the renovation works carried out so it can be claimed in your depreciation report.

Listed are some of the common changes made to properties but if there are others please add.

Paint:

Pergola:

Deadlocks:

Security Systems:

Paving:

Water Tank:

Kitchen Upgrade:

Bathroom Upgrade:

Other: (please specify the date and cost of your other renovations/capital works)

Section 4

Construction Cost

You must provide us with the original date and cost of construction of your property.

  • If property was built before 18th July 1985 then you do not need to complete this section. Just answer 'Yes' to the first question and move onto 'Photos'.
  • If you cannot obtain construction cost from your local council then you will have to do a floorplan. See below.
  • At the very least we need a year of construction.
  • If you own a unit, townhouse or flat then we will also need your unit entitlement. This can usually be obtained from body corporate notices and will be expressed as a percentage eg: 388 / 10,000 or 3.88%. This helps us apportion your construction cost and entitlement to common areas when the building cost is given for the entire complex not just your individual unit.

Construction/Building Cost:

Photos

This is optional for you but may help us in assessing the values to add into your report. A photo that takes in each room, front of house and backyard would be helpful. If you do take photo’s of your property, please reduce in size before emailing to us.

Floorplan of your property

Again this is optional, but would help us with your report. If you were unable to obtain construction cost from your local council then you will definitely have to complete a floorplan. If you already have a floorplan that you can email or fax then we can use this. Otherwise a hand drawn floorplan would suffice similar to below:

Some helpful instructions:

  • When measuring a room for floor coverings say 3 metres by 4 metres then we need you to write down 12 square metres in the appropriate box. Obviously you would have to do this for each room with carpet and add them together to give us your total answer.
  • When measuring window furnishings measure the width of the window say 1.8metres and then tell us if this is a quarter size window, a half window or a full window that nearly covers the wall from floor to ceiling.
  • Unfortunately, recessed lights that form part of the ceiling are not depreciable and so you cannot include them.  But if you know they were installed after the property was originally built then you could include them in Renovations.
  • You can only include kitchen assets, laundry or furniture that you actually own and that you have provided for the tenants use. i.e: you cannot include the clothes dryer in your list if there is one in the property but is owned by the tenant.
  • If you do not know the cost or date of any renovations, you cannot include it in your worksheet.  If you know of any major renovations that you would really like to have included in your report, you should consider using our Premium package and have one of building inspectors assess the size of your renovation claim.
