LANDLORD CERTIFICATES
Ever since the Gas Safety Regulations of 1998 came into effect, it has become mandatory for all Landlords to acquire a Gas Safety Certificate every year.
According to the law, the Homeowners’ Gas Safety Certificate or the CP12 Certificate is valid for up to 12 months.
After 12 months, the CP12 certificate expires and must be renewed. For the renewal of the certificate, Landlords must book a new gas safety check from a Gas Safe registered engineer.
As a landlord you'll want to ensure you have your property ready for a new tenancy at any time. Having a Landlords Certificate is an essential part of this process.
Gas safety checks are needed by:
- Landlords
- Housing associations
- Local authorities
- Hotels and B&Bs
- Colleges
- Boarding schools
- Hostels
