Properties on bushfire-prone land in Inner West are not a niche category. They are common across much of Sydney's western, northern, and southern fringes. Ownership does not preclude financing, and most major lenders treat bushfire risk the same as flood risk: a disclosure item that may affect insurance rather than a hard lending constraint. The key question is the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) rating, which determines construction requirements.
