Referral program We offer a referral program that rewards your client AND YOU! We recognise it takes time ordering a report on behalf of the property investor and that time equals money.

FREE Preliminary Assessments for Your Clients
The 2017 Federal Budget changes have made the world of depreciation a lot more complicated. So much so, that it can now be difficult to determine if there’s value in proceeding with a report on older properties.
While we’ve found most properties still have enough eligible deductions available to make a depreciation schedule worthwhile, not all do.
With this in mind, as a Partner of Washington Brown, we offer a free Preliminary Assessment on each and every one of your clients’ properties.
Just send us a few key property details, and one of our Quantity Surveyors will review the property and determine what the likely deductions will be in the early years.
With this information, you can inform your client, and together decide if there’s value in proceeding with a depreciation schedule for that particular property.
