Our Landlord FAQ’s
See our frequently asked questions below.
A landlord gas safety inspection is a legal requirement in the UK to ensure that all gas appliances, fittings, and flues provided in rental properties are safe to use. The inspection must be carried out annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
Landlords must have a gas safety check completed every 12 months. A new certificate should be issued each year, and copies must be provided to tenants within 28 days of the inspection.
If an appliance is found to be unsafe, it may be switched off and labelled accordingly. The landlord is responsible for arranging the necessary repairs or replacements before the appliance can be safely used again.
A Gas Safety Certificate, often referred to as a CP12, is the document issued after a successful inspection. It outlines the checks carried out, any issues found, and confirmation that appliances meet the required safety standards.
The engineer will inspect all gas appliances provided by the landlord, such as boilers, cookers, and gas fires. They will also check associated pipework, flues, and ventilation to ensure everything is operating safely.
Yes. Failing to carry out an annual gas safety check or provide a valid certificate is a serious offence. It can result in significant fines, legal action, or even imprisonment in the event of a serious incident.
