Hi,
I've been told (engineers report) I need to replace the roof and windows on an investment property. Cost is 20k and 7k respectively. Can I claim the full cost back as a capital allowance and claim over 8 years?
Thanks
 
Would that not fall under repairs and be deductible in the current year - with any losses carried forward to future years?

It is hardly an en.hancement of the property ?
 
It's not changing property, same style roof, windows etc., just new.
I was asking because I cant find anything in relation to roofs but I would assume it does fall under repairs

100% agree. I assume the roof is leaking or is unsafe? Once you have the report to hand you have nothing to worry about IMO.
