Frequently asked questions

Do I need a depreciation schedule?

For most investment properties, a quantity surveyor's depreciation schedule pays for itself many times over. We'll advise whether it's worthwhile for you.

How is capital gains tax calculated?

CGT depends on your ownership period, cost base, and any concessions. We calculate it precisely and plan the timing where possible.

Can you handle multiple properties?

Yes — multi-property portfolios are a core part of our individual practice.
