Optional Pre-Purchase inspection

Optional pre-purchase inspection and report

Before buying an existing accommodation or health business, such as a bed and breakfast or beauty salon, we recommend you arrange a pre-transfer inspection and report.

You must have the business owner's consent to arrange a pre-transfer inspection.

Our environmental health officers will inspect the business and prepare a report for your information. You can then work with the existing owner to resolve any outstanding items.

How to apply

Once application and payment is received, an inspection is arranged (within 10 days) with current proprietors present. Following inspection, a report is written and sent to the pre-transfer inspection applicant.
