Hi @Dean02,
Expenses you incur prior to the property being rented or genuinely available for rent, are not immediately deductible. The legal costs and agent fees associated to purchasing the home are added to the cost base when you sell or dispose of the property.
You can also check out rental expenses you can claim and elements of the cost base from here.
