Planning, zoning & intended use
We organize the intended accommodation model, area rules, use restrictions, access conditions, and the authority questions that should be raised early.
PRE-PURCHASE PRELIMINARY SCREENING
Before you buy,
know what comes next.
Share a candidate property before you sign. We review the available building, zoning, fire-safety and licensing information, then identify what needs closer investigation.
SCREEN BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Look beyond
the property listing.
A building can look right, sit in the right neighborhood, and still carry unanswered questions around intended use, approvals, records, fire safety, access, local rules, or the scope of work required.
Our preliminary screening brings those questions forward. It is an early decision tool—not a substitute for formal due diligence, professional design, authority consultation, or a license application.
Read the scope and limitsWHAT WE SCREEN
Four areas that
shape the decision.
The exact checks depend on the property and the documents available. Missing evidence is itself a finding.
Building records & compliance evidence
We review the available approvals, inspection records, drawings, current use, scale, age, and apparent document gaps that may require specialist investigation.
Fire safety & conversion path
We identify early fire-safety and conversion questions, then flag where a fire specialist, architect, site survey, or authority consultation is needed.
Licensing route & local requirements
We map the likely accommodation framework, application path, local rules, inspections, and unresolved confirmations. We do not present this preliminary route as approval.
WHAT COMES BACK

Practical next steps.
The form of the response depends on the agreed scope and the material provided.

HOW IT WORKS
From property details
to an informed decision.
-
01
Send the candidate
Share the brochure or URL, address, asking price, available drawings and approvals, target concept, budget, and timing.
-
02
Define the question
We confirm what you need to decide, what material exists, and the scope, fee, and timing of the preliminary work.
-
03
Screen & organize
We review the available facts and identify the key issues, missing evidence, and specialist or authority confirmations.
-
04
Choose the next move
Proceed to deeper due diligence, negotiate conditions, obtain missing evidence, compare another candidate, or stop before commitment.
SCOPE & BOUNDARIES
An initial review,
with a defined scope.
No license guarantee
Final outcomes depend on detailed facts, completed designs, professional judgments, consultations, inspections, and the competent authorities.
Not full due diligence
Legal, structural, architectural, fire-safety, tax, financial, and technical reviews may require separately retained specialists and additional investigation.
Opening PM is separate
If the project proceeds, opening project management is a separate engagement from screening and brokerage, with its own scope, fee, and responsibilities.
Daily operations are not included
Hotel operation, staffing, cleaning, reservations, and guest service require a separate operator or operating arrangement.
BEFORE YOU SEND A PROPERTY
Before you send
your property details.
When should I request a screening?
Ideally before signing a purchase contract or making an unconditional commitment, while there is still time to request documents, add conditions, compare candidates, or walk away.
What should I send first?
Send the property URL or brochure, address, asking price, known building documents, intended accommodation concept, target opening timing, and the decision deadline.
Will the screening confirm that a hotel license can be obtained?
No. The screening identifies the likely application path, risks, and required confirmations. Licensed specialists provide professional opinions, and the relevant authorities decide whether approvals are granted.
Can Ziyou stay involved if the candidate moves forward?
Yes. Depending on the project, we can handle the acquisition as broker, coordinate licensing and opening specialists, and provide opening PM under a separate engagement. Daily hotel operation is not included.
