Bushfire affected area

Found a nice house but it is in the bushfire affected area. The property was not impacted, but a couple of other houses in the immediate neighbourhood burned about a year ago. The overall house prices in the suburb have not been affected by bushfire, but not so sure about this pocket that actual bushfire was. Luckily no lives lost in the fire, only property damage in houses.

if you put your buyers hat on, would knowledge of the past bushfire put you off? :confused:

Currently asking price range is low in my opinion, but possibly affected by bushfire. Otherwise I would call it under quoting... The house will be auctioned, so it will eventually go with the market price.
 
I would think
- check insurance costs
- check how the building would hold up to fire, there might be work such as clearing trees, debris, upgrading gutters etc that you could do
- if you plan to do any structural work he BAL rating would impact requirements
