    1. If I buy a newly renovated property, can I claim the depreciation on renovations, the same as a brand new property ?

    For example say the seller installed a new kitchen and polished floor boards and painted and repaired the property. Then I bought the property off them.

    Can I claim depreciation on the kitchen and floorboards ?

    What about the expenses ?

    As far as i am aware 007, yes you can. As long as the property is and always has been a rental since you bought it and the depreciating fixtures were brand new, not just renovated.
    But don’t just take my word on this as i am not a 100% sure. Hope this helps anyway.

    Here for a good time not a long time, just do it!.

    Yes you should be able to. You’ll probably need construction dates and if possible construction costs as some of the work could be capital expenditure and some fixtures & fittings.
    Talk to an accountant and a quantity surveyor.

    Yes you can,

    you can do it several ways, the commissioner would allow

    1. u estimate the cost of construction and you can claim the costs. Some costs are fixtures and fittings (40) and some are capital (43)

    2. hire a quantity surveyor and he’ll estimate the costs for you

    3. use an architect and he’ll estimate the costs for you
