    You get what you get because you do what you do so if you don’t like what you’ve got then change what you do.

    The simple answer is yes you can. You will need a depreciation report from a Quantity Surveyor

    And the amount is apportioned amongst all lot holders in accordance with their share of ownership.

    It depends on what you actually own. Big complexes with golf course, roads etc are tricky. Although your unit might be situated within a golf course etc and you may have certain rights to use it, you may not actually own it. You may not own much beyond your building. In some cases things like a golf course may be owned by a seperate entity. This shouldn’t affect your access to it or anything like that, but it may affect your entitlement to claim depreciation on it.
