Commentary

    This is the commentary archive of Mark Kilroy — a Chartered Quantity Surveyor (MRICS) and Registered Tax Agent writing on Australian property, construction costs, tax depreciation policy and the holding strategy that determines whether investments survive changing market conditions.

    Selected pieces, informed by more than two decades working across Australia, the UK, and the US.

    The problem

    Most property and policy commentary stops at the point of purchase — yet the years of ownership are where outcomes are actually decided.

    Who it's for

    Investors, business owners, developers, advisors and policymakers.

    The outcome

    Clearer thinking on cost, tax and holding strategy, so you can make better-informed decisions.
