I am neither a tax expert nor do pretend to be one, but imo that should fall under incidental costs of buying an asset. Anyway, how much you think that would be? 10cs?

Second element: incidental costs of acquiring the CGT asset or that relate to the CGT event
There are ten incidental costs you may have incurred in acquiring the asset or in relation to the CGT event that happens to it (including its disposal). They are:
- remuneration for the services of a surveyor, valuer, auctioneer, accountant, broker, agent, consultant or legal adviser (you can include the cost of advice on the operation of the tax law as an incidental cost only if the advice was provided by a recognised tax adviser and you incurred the cost after 30 June 1989)
- costs of transfer
- stamp duty or other similar duty
- costs of advertising or marketing (but not entertainment) to find a seller or buyer
- costs relating to the making of any valuation or apportionment to determine your capital gain or loss
- search fees relating to an asset (such as fees to check land titles and similar fees, but not travel costs to find an asset suitable for purchase)
- the cost of a conveyancing kit (or a similar cost)
- borrowing expenses (such as loan application fees and mortgage discharge fees)
- expenditure that:
- is incurred by the head company of a consolidated group to an entity that is not a member of the group, and
- reasonably relates to a CGT asset held by the head company
- is incurred because of a transaction that is between members of the group
- expenditure incurred as a direct result of your ownership of a CGT asset ending (also known as termination or exit fees).
- remuneration for the services of a surveyor, valuer, auctioneer, accountant, broker, agent, consultant or legal adviser (you can include the cost of advice on the operation of the tax law as an incidental cost only if the advice was provided by a recognised tax adviser and you incurred the cost after 30 June 1989)
