1. Legal Compliance: The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 mandate that landlords must conduct annual gas safety checks and maintain a valid CP12 certificate.
2. Tenant Safety: Regular checks identify and rectify potential gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning risks, and other hazards, ensuring your tenants’ safety.
3. Avoid Penalties: Failure to have a valid CP12 can result in hefty fines and legal action against the landlord.
4. Insurance: Many insurance policies require a valid CP12. An expired certificate could invalidate your insurance coverage.

Requirements for Completion by Landlords

To obtain and maintain a valid Gas Safety Certificate, landlords must:

1. Annual Inspections: Arrange for a Gas Safe registered engineer to conduct an annual safety check on all gas appliances and flues.
2. Record Keeping: Keep a record of the safety check for at least two years.
3. Provide Copies: Give a copy of the latest CP12 to your tenants within 28 days of the check. New tenants should receive a copy before they move in.
4. Fix Issues Promptly: If any issues are identified during the inspection, ensure they are fixed promptly by a qualified engineer.
