Landlord gas safety certificates: a simple guide

If you let a property with gas in England, a Landlord Gas Safety Record (often called a CP12) is a legal requirement. Here’s what you need to know.

The key rules

  • Every gas appliance and flue must be checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer every 12 months
  • Existing tenants must get a copy within 28 days, new tenants before they move in
  • Keep records for at least 2 years

Renew early without losing time

A check carried out up to two months before the deadline keeps the original expiry date — so you can book early without losing months.

How we make it easy

We arrange access with your tenant, email the certificate the same day and remind you a month before it’s due. Sign up for a free reminder on our Landlords page.
