Virtual Tours leave an impression on Property ...

3D Virtual Tours are fast becoming a staple of marketing a property. Aside from complimenting a new climate of ‘social distancing’, providing a contactless, interactive experience of a property over photos alone is the natural progression in a world where marketing has become so centered on having an impressive online presence.

A study by REA in April 2020 noted that 61% of viewers feel that properties with digital inspections make a listing feel more ‘premium’, and 62% felt more positively about the listing agent.

Tax Depreciation in a Brand New Apartment

In the lead up to tax time, we wanted to shed some light on what exactly Depreciation is and how it can save investors thousands in tax deductions. We prepared this interactive model to show exactly what can be depreciated in an investment property.

As an investment property ages the value of the materials used to build it decrease in value, this loss in value can be claimed as a deduction at tax time. Blue labelled items come under Capital Works (Division 43), or construction of the property, which are depreciable over 40 years.

Virtual tours help agents get buyers through ...

A high-resolution, 360-degree virtual tour could be one of the key ways agents look to show potential buyers a property, following the ban on public open homes and auctions from midnight, Wednesday March 25.

Camera services and agents have reported a spike in inquiries for virtual tours of property listings in the past week to fill the void left by government-mandated social distancing measures.

Asset Reports partner Tom Williams said high-quality, 360-degree views of listed properties were an invaluable tool for vendors and buyers alike.

“It’s helping [agents] get the listing and helping them engage the right buyer,” Mr Williams said.

“I’ve seen easily a 50 to 60 per cent increase in more business than the week prior. We’ve doubled our bookings.

With the RBAs announcement of another interest rate rise, owners of investment properties will likely be feeling the squeeze with pressure on their cash flow.

Further interest rate hikes are expected throughout the year, so any way to supplement the return on an investment is essential right now.

The simplest and most effective way to offset increasing interest costs is to start claiming Depreciation - and owners can claim up to two prior years of depreciation on an investment property for an instant refund back from the ATO.
