PROPERTY RISK ASSESSMENTS

Is your property bushfire safe?

A well prepared property is more likely to survive a bushfire

Onsite property inspections

If your property is located in a bushfire prone area, it is essential to understand your bushfire risk. A well prepared home is more likely to survive a bushfire attack, less likely to put neighbouring homes at risk and is easier for you or firefighters to defend.

With our Property Bushfire Risk Assessments, we can identify and assess potential risks to your property and make recommendations for improvements and works to be considered.

 

This involves an onsite visit and inspection where we:

  • Assess your Bushfire Attack Level (BAL)
  • Assess risks & hazards
  • Identify emergency escape routes
  • Identify emergency vehicle access
  • Inspect fire fighting pumps & equipment

 

Following the assessment we will provide you with a comprehensive written report containing recommendations aimed at lowering the risk to your property. We will ensure that you gain a thorough understanding of the report to use for your future reference.

Pre-purchase inspections

If you are considering buying a house in a bushfire prone area, the property should first be assessed for bushfire risk.

We offer a Pre-purchase Inspection service where we carry out an initial inspection of the property to assist you in understand your potential bushfire risk and advise you of existing legislative requirements. Identified risks may require costly hazard reduction works or add significant costs to future building operations including redevelopment or extensions.

We believe consumers should be aware of these potentially significant costs prior to committing to purchase.

Why risk it? Feel confident knowing your property is well prepared

Brett Harris

We engaged Brett to reassess our BAL after the CFS determined it had gone up significantly 3 years later (even though we had less vegetation than our original assessment!) With great advice from Brett, we were able to lower the BAL to less than the original!! I have no hesitation in recommending Brett.

After actioning his plan we can lower our BAL rating and so save thousands in “over” building costs. If you are in the final planning stages of a build, I would definitely call SA Bushfire solutions before you…
