Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) – Legal Compliance for Rented Properties

If you're a landlord in York or the surrounding areas, it's a legal requirement to have a Gas Safety Inspection carried out every 12 months. A CP12 Gas Safety Certificate confirms that all gas appliances and flues in your rented property are safe, compliant, and functioning correctly.

At Lets Test, we provide fully certified Gas Safety Inspections, carried out by qualified Gas Safe Registered Engineers, ensuring your property meets current legal obligations and your tenants stay safe.

What Is a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?

A CP12 certificate is a legal document that proves a Gas Safe registered engineer has inspected all gas appliances and installations in a rental property. This includes:

• Gas boilers

• Gas ovens and hobs

• Gas fires

• Pipework and connections

• Flues, chimneys, and vents

• Other gas-powered fixtures or fittings

The engineer will carry out a series of safety checks to ensure:

• Appliances are working at the correct pressure

• Gas is burning properly and efficiently

• There is sufficient ventilation and air supply

• Flues and chimneys are clear and properly discharging gases

• All safety devices are functioning as intended

What’s Included in the Certificate?

Once the inspection is complete, you’ll receive a CP12 certificate outlining:

• The address and location of each appliance or flue

• Results of all safety checks

• Any safety issues or potential hazards

• Recommended remedial actions (if needed)

• The engineer’s details and Gas Safe registration number

• The date of inspection and due date for the next check

Legal Responsibilities for Landlords

As a landlord, you are legally required to:

• Have all gas appliances and flues checked at least once every 12 months

• Provide a copy of the certificate to new tenants before they move in

• Supply an updated certificate to existing tenants within 28 days of each annual check

• Keep a copy of each Gas Safety Record for at least two years

Failing to comply with these regulations can result in serious penalties, including fines, invalidated insurance, and potential legal action in the event of an incident.
