Landlord Certificates
As a landlord in London, you are no doubt already aware of the many legal requirements that you must comply with to ensure that your property is safe for your tenants. One of those requirements is having a valid CP12 Gas Safety Certificate for any property that you rent out. When you let out any property, its gas safety record must be produced by a Gas Safe Registered engineer in order for you to legally offer your property for lease.
Gas Safety Certificates confirm that the heating system as well as any appliances connected to it are functioning at the correct operating pressure and are correctly burning with sufficient air supply. If you fail to have this certificate and an issue occurs with the gas in the property, tenants can claim that you are a negligent landlord. If they can prove that you have failed in your duty of care or have breached your legal obligations, they may sue for damages and this could be extremely costly for you. Having a gas safety certificate supplied by a Gas Safe Engineer will give you the defence you need in such a case.

It also proves that you act responsibly as a landlord and have due care for the tenants whom you rent to. When you can show that you arranged for an expert to certify the safety of the heating system in your property you can be sure that tenants will be reassured and confident enough to rent from you.
Gas Safety Certificates for landlords remain valid for a period of a year, so therefore it’s vital to have one carried out annually. It’s important to remember this as failure to supply one is a contravention of the law. Here at Gas Flo, we can carry out a full gas safety inspection in your rental properties to ensure that you adhere to the law and that your tenants will be safe at all times. We can ensure that all of the regulations are adhered to and that tenants are supplied with their own copy for their records.
