Landlord Gas Safety Certificates
Thorough gas safety inspections and certification to keep properties compliant and tenants safe.
What Are Landlord Gas Safety Certificates?
Landlord Gas Safety Certificates, also known as CP12 certificates, are legal documents that verify all gas appliances, fittings, and flues in a rental property are safe for use. As a landlord in the UK, you are legally required to ensure all gas equipment provided in your rental properties is maintained in a safe condition. The certificate confirms that a Gas Safe registered engineer has inspected the gas installations and appliances, ensuring they meet safety standards.
These certificates must be renewed annually to maintain compliance with UK regulations. Failure to obtain a valid gas safety certificate can result in severe penalties, including fines of up to £6,000 per item, imprisonment, and invalidation of your landlord insurance. Additionally, without a current certificate, you may face difficulties if you need to evict tenants through Section 21 notices, as courts may not grant possession orders without proof of gas safety compliance.
The inspection covers all gas appliances including boilers, gas fires, gas cookers, and gas water heaters. Your engineer will check for gas leaks, ensure proper gas pressure, examine flues and ventilation, and verify that all safety devices are functioning correctly. The certificate provides tenants with peace of mind and protects landlords from potential liability issues arising from gas-related incidents.
