Koste recently provided me with a tax depreciation report for my duplex. The service was very efficient with quick turnaround from application. Cost was very competitive. Communication was excellent throughout with follow up at the end to ensure I received the report. Will definitely use again.

Report
I enquired with this company before settlement on my property. They were persistent and followed up a little too frequently. Their communication was frequent after settlement so I had them to do a depreciation report which I received about a week later.
Afterwards I was offered a free rent appraisal and property report which I feel was a good incentive, hence the 5* review.
