What is a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?
A Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (also known as a CP12 certificate) is a legal requirement for all landlords who rent out properties with gas appliances. The certificate confirms that all gas appliances, fittings, and flues have been checked and are safe to use.
What's Included in the £75 Gas Safety Check:
- Gas meter safety check
- Boiler inspection and testing
- Gas hob safety check
- All gas pipework inspection
- Ventilation checks
- Flue and combustion testing
- CP12 certificate issued on completion
Legal Requirements for Landlords
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords must:
- Ensure all gas appliances and flues are maintained in a safe condition
- Have all gas appliances and flues checked for safety within 12 months of installation and at least every 12 months after that by a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Keep a record of each safety check for at least 2 years
