    So reading this forum has provided me with lots of knowledge and opens up more question in my mind. Can the experts please clarify if these are correct?

    Purchase cost: (Claimable when selling the property)
    Stamp Duty
    GST
    Legal Fees
    Dispersments
    Building Inspections
    Registration of Title

    Borrowing Costs: (Claimable in non-cash deductions in 5 years spread)
    Mortgage Stamp Duty
    Mortgage Insurance
    Stamp Duty on Mortgage Insurance
    Loan Application Fee
    Valuation fee
    Search Fees
    Registration of Mortgage

    Where does the cost of getting depreciation schedule sit? is it in property expenses or purchase cost?

    Depreciation schedule cost is tax deductible in your first tax return

    Neither, in terms of the categories that you're talking about above. It's an expense incurred in managing your tax affairs and, as such, is claimable in the same way your accountant fees are.

    It is claimable in whichever financial year it's paid for.
