Your core legal requirements
- An annual gas safety check by a Gas Safe registered engineer on every gas appliance and flue you own
- A valid CP12 certificate, renewed every 12 months
- Providing tenants a copy within 28 days of the check, or before they move in for new tenancies
- Keeping appliances and pipework properly maintained, not just checked
- Keeping records for at least two years
Why we do not recommend relying on assumptions
| Common assumption | Why it is risky |
|---|---|
| “The previous landlord already had it checked” | The 12-month clock is strict — you need your own current, valid certificate. |
| “My handyman can do the check” | Only a Gas Safe registered engineer can legally issue a valid CP12 certificate. |
What it costs to get this wrong
Non-compliance can mean criminal prosecution, unlimited fines, invalidated landlord insurance, and being blocked from serving a valid Section 21 eviction notice.
