With climate risk reshaping lending, valuations and buyer behaviour, insure-ability is quickly becoming value-ability. Extreme weather events are now costing Australia around $4.5B a year, pushing more homes into the “hard to insure” or “uninsurable” category and driving premiums through the roof.
That bargain buy?
If the insurer won’t touch it, or the premiums bleed you dry, it may cost more in the long run than a penthouse in Braddon.
In this radio chat with Cam & Renee on Canberra Mix 106.3FM, Bushy unpacks:
- Why insurability now rivals location as a value driver
- The growing list of suburbs and postcodes under scrutiny
- How to check insurance viability before you buy
- What resilience upgrades can actually save you money
- How rising risk assessments are impacting valuations & lending
If you’re looking to buy, build, or invest — this is one conversation you can’t afford to skip.
