A Depreciation Marketing Report provides indicative depreciation estimates for each apartment type within a development, helping buyers understand the potential tax deductions available before they purchase.

It gives purchasers a clearer picture of after-tax affordability, and can increase their borrowing capacity.

Because Washington Brown already receives the key development information upfront, the process is faster, simpler and more cost-effective for the purchaser. Making it easier to order their full ATO-compliant depreciation schedule at a heavily discounted rate once they settle.

Available Marketing Materials

Washington Brown provides a professionally prepared,
co-branded Depreciation Marketing Report that developers can use as part of their purchaser marketing material. Each report includes:

  • Indicative depreciation estimates for each apartment type in the development

  • 10-year deduction projections using both Diminishing Value and Prime Cost methods

  • Purchaser-friendly pages that explain the potential tax benefits of depreciation

  • Access to an exclusive discounted rate for purchasers within the development

The report is designed to help potential buyers better understand the after-tax benefits of purchasing an investment property, while giving them a simple pathway to obtain their final depreciation schedule after settlement.

Washington Brown is one of Australia’s most reviewed property depreciation specialists, with thousands of clients trusting us to prepare clear, accurate and easy-to-use depreciation schedules.

My depreciation report was done quickly and efficiently. The staff at Washington Brown responded to my enquiries quickly, and were professional and helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend!

Becky Carline

The items in the report were more than I was hoping for, and in fact my capital works total depreciation amount will be 3 times what I paid for the report – in the first year alone. So, the overall experience with WB exceeded my expectations – professionalism and the works done faster than expected greatly contributed to this outcome.

Michael Busc

I have used WB for multiple depreciation reports. The reports are completed promptly with excellent detail. I have found the cost to be very competitive and great value for money. Couldn’t recommend more.

Joshua Bell

They were fast to quote, communicate necessary details to me and agreed to conduct the necessary in-person inspection within 4 business days at my address within an hour of Sydney. This made my selection easy.

Referral Marketing Report FAQs

What is a Depreciation Marketing Report?

A Depreciation Marketing Report provides indicative depreciation estimates for the different apartment types within a development. It helps potential purchasers understand the tax depreciation deductions they may be able to claim if they buy the property as an investment.

Can purchasers use the Marketing Report for their tax return?

No. The figures are indicative only and are prepared for marketing and informational purposes. Purchasers will still need a final ATO-compliant Tax Depreciation Schedule after settlement before making a claim in their tax return. The sample report also makes this clear in the disclaimer and purchaser pages.

What information do you need from the developer?

We typically require the development address, total construction cost, plans, specifications, strata details, estimated price list, and development logos. The more detail provided upfront, the more efficiently we can prepare the indicative estimates.

How does this help our sales team?

The report gives purchasers a clearer understanding of the potential after-tax benefits of the property. This can help investors assess cash flow, affordability and the overall investment value of an apartment before they purchase.

Does every apartment need its own estimate?

Not necessarily. We can usually prepare indicative estimates based on apartment types, layouts, price points, car spaces and inclusions. This allows purchasers to view relevant depreciation estimates without needing a separate report for every individual lot.

Do purchasers receive a discount on their final depreciation schedule?

Yes. As part of the Marketing Report package, purchasers can access a discounted rate for their final Tax Depreciation Schedule after settlement.

Is an inspection required after settlement?

In many cases, we already have most of the required development information from the developer. Whether a final inspection is required will depend on the property, available documentation and the level of detail needed to prepare the final ATO-compliant schedule.

How accurate are the figures?

The figures are professionally prepared estimates based on the information available at the time, including plans, specifications, schedules and cost information. Final deductions may vary depending on settlement date, final construction costs, completed specifications, ownership structure and tax legislation.

Can the report be branded for our development?

Yes. The report can be prepared with development-specific details, apartment types, purchaser call-to-actions and discount information, making it easy to include in your sales and marketing material.

How long does it take to prepare?

Turnaround depends on the size of the development and how complete the information is when provided. Once we have the required documentation, we can confirm the expected timeframe before commencing.
