What is a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?
A Landlord Gas Certificate, officially known as a Gas Safety Record (CP12), is a legal document that verifies all gas appliances, pipework, and flues in a rental property have been thoroughly inspected and are safe to use. This document includes detailed information about each gas appliance's condition, the engineer's Gas Safe registration number, inspection date, and any identified defects requiring attention.
The importance of gas safety for landlords
Landlord Gas Certificates are not just a legal requirement—they're crucial for protecting tenants from potentially lethal gas-related incidents. Under UK law, landlords must ensure all gas appliances are checked annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Failure to comply can result in:
- Criminal prosecution with fines up to £6,000 per item and/or six months' imprisonment
- Invalidation of landlord insurance
- Civil claims from tenants
- Potential manslaughter charges if tenants are harmed due to unsafe gas appliances
Our Gas Safety Check Includes:
At Leeds Gas, our comprehensive gas safety inspections cover:
