TSL Project Services Report Competitor's Report
1. Price : $540

Fixed investment for residential properties located within listed areas.
$297 to $850

Prices may not include additional expenses ie. traveling costs, additional research costs, drawing up plans etc. Some competitor companies do not include a full on-site inspection.
2. No Payment up front : You are invoiced along with the completed report so you actually have the report prior to payment. You have to pay up front before they undertake any work or you have to pay 50% prior to inspection and 50% prior to the report being released.
3. Property inspection : All of your properties are physically inspected. Warning: Some companies expect you to undertake the inspection yourself, which is against ATO guidelines. And some just do not even bother to do an inspection at all.
4. Inspections carried out within two weeks : Generally within one week. You're expected to wait anywhere between 2 to 12 weeks for an inspection depending on the company.
5. Full 40 Year Schedule : Yes. This can range from 10 to 40 Years.
6. Research - Any additional fees? : TSL will carry out all necessary research on your property at no additional cost. This can cost you additional fees.
7. Furniture : Includes all furniture at no extra cost. It is highly likely that you will be charged extra for a furnished property.
8. Photographs : Photographs of your property will be included in the report. Then if the report is ever audited, the ATO can actually see the property. These are rarely included.
9. Floor plan : All body corporate plans are included. This can cost you additional fees or you will be asked to obtain plans from the relevant council. Again this will incur additional fees and can take up to extra 6 weeks.
10. Format : 16 page bound report. Often just a 2 page document.
11. Digital Copies : You are emailed a digital copy so you can forward this to your accountant with the hard bound copy following in the post. They might not issue a digital copy or they may make an additional charge for this service.
12. Certified : The report will be certified by an Associate of the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors and also by a Member of the Royal Institute of Quantity Surveyors. Your report may not be certified and therefore does not fall within the Australian Institute of Quantity Surveyors guidelines.
And finally -
Guarantee :
TSL guarantees that you will receive at least double your fee in depreciation within the first full year or your report is free. Some companies fail to provide you with any sort of guarantee.
