Report detail extracted

What made this report unique

These details show the report-specific review behind the headline figures, including the capital works basis, adjustment items and property history considered in the schedule.

Original capital works

Circa 2006 original capital works cost recorded at $421,474.

Affected Division 40 items

$12,013 was removed from the capital works base, leaving an adjusted Division 43 base of $409,460.

Occupancy context

Preoccupied apartment, so the report considered second-hand residential plant restrictions.

Apartment relevance

The case gives high-rise apartment investors a more relevant comparison than a detached house example.

Short first year

The opening claim was very low because the first year was calculated on only 20 days.

Why BWK Group

The report gives the owner a clear building write-off schedule even for an established strata asset.
