What should Approved Inspectors do once their insurance has expired?
Once their insurance has expired, an Approved Inspector should submit a notice to cancel their work and ‘revert’ the job back to the local council.
While some Approved Inspectors claim to have ‘partnered’ with another Approved Inspector, they cannot transfer any work that has started to a second Approved Inspector.
The process for transferring the building control work is the responsibility of both the Approved Inspector and the person carrying out the work (in law this could be the owner or the contractor). View the process for transferring the work.
