We recently purchased a block of land subject to soil test and Bushfire Assessment Level (BAL) report.
The block was in a Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) and required a Bushfire Management Statement (BMS) rather than a BAL report. The agent stated the vendor didn't have one or know what the BAL rating was.
$3,650 later, the soil test came back Problematic (P rating) and the BMS reduced the building envelope to a small triangle shape with a BAL of 40, 29 & 19 - based on the distances from existing trees on the property next door. After talking to various builders, we decided to withdraw from the sale.
After talking with the agent and withdrawing our offer, he emailed me requesting a copy of the BMS. Although I have no use for the report, I can't help but feel reluctant to just give it away after paying $2,500 for it.
Should I just send it or suggest they pay something for it?
