Special Building Write Off Deductions

The Australian Taxation Office allows construction expenditure on residential properties to be deducted from income. 100% of construction expenditure can be claimed over the period the property is available for rent. This converts into substantial refunds for many years.

Bacchus Partners provide the fast economical service to estimate the eligible construction cost that is required by the ATO. We also provide, for one low fee, a Depreciation Schedule for items not included in the estimate such as carpet, curtains and stove etc.

Pre Sales Inspections

If you are preparing your house for sale or auction, remember that having a house well presented not only involves painting but includes a full check on the structural condition of the house.

If a potential buyer requests a pre-purchase inspection and you are not aware of possible faults, you place yourself at risk of having your purchase price lowered through negotiation with the buyer.

You are in a much better position if you have an independent inspection carried out by us and full knowledge of the structural condition of your house before it goes on the market.

We are local, so the service will be quick and efficient and if required the estimate will be delivered within 48 hours.

Home Owner Warranty Inspections

The NSW Home Building Act 1989 requires that:-

"An owner-builder must not enter into a contract for the sale of land on which owner-builder work is to be or has been done by or on behalf of the owner-builder unless a contract of insurance that complies with this Act is in force in relation to the work or proposed work."

However, this does not apply if the work was completed more than 6 years previously or the cost did not exceed $12,000.

If you have carried out building works on your own house and you intend to sell the property within 6 years of completing the works then you will need to arrange Owner - Builder Warranty Insurance.

The certificate of insurance must be attached to the Contract of Sale. Insurance can be arranged through insurance companies or brokers. The insurers require an export report on the building works. Bacchus Partners provide this report quickly and reliably. Our price is competitive and we inspect throughout the South Coast, Southern Highlands, Wollongong, Wollondilly, Campbelltown and Goulburn areas.

Planning Home Improvements?
Why not get some expert advice on turning your dreams into reality? Our professionals can tell you just what is possible and then, if you want to, we can audit the work to get the quality you specify.

Weekend Inspections
Sometimes it may be more convenient to have a home inspection carried out on the weekend when the occupier of the house is available to allow access for the inspection to take place.

Bacchus Partners understand the rigours of a busy weekday schedule and can fit in with the customer by arranging a pre-purchase home inspection on the weekend at a time that is convenient to you.
