However, choosing an unqualified assessor can lead to several issues, including:

1. Incorrect Vegetation Classification: Misclassification can increase your home’s risk and affect your insurance.
2. Potential Insurance Disputes: Your insurer may dispute the BAL Rating, possibly resulting in denied claims if your dwelling is involved in a bushfire.
3. Significantly Higher Insurance Premiums: Incorrect BAL Ratings can lead to notably higher annual insurance costs.
4. Wasted Money and Time: Issues with local government approvals can lead to financial losses and project delays.
5. Inappropriate Assessor Level: A Level 1 Assessor may be assigned when a Level 2 is required, wasting your money and delaying your project.
