What gas and electrical certificates need to be considered

 

Landlord’s Gas Certificate (CP12)

All landlords are responsible for the safety of there tenants, therefore you must ensure that gas appliances are working correctly and that there is no danger against carbon monoxide poisoning.

Since the gas safety regulations took over from the corgi registration there has been quite a few high profile cases where Landlords have had to pay large sums of money to people due to not having gas safety checks done.

 

Every property that is rented out is now required to have a gas certificate for any sort of appliance that they may have, these include boilers, ovens, stoves and fires plus any thing else that you may have that is part of a gas installation.

Landlord’s Electrical Certificate

Landlords electrical certificates are an important part of ensuring the safety of tenants, these certificates also prove that you have taken reasonable steps to ensure the safety of the property. Even though they are not a mandatory requirement under the landlords standards they are under building regulations which backs up BS7671 for the wiring regulations. People who carry out these electrical tests must be qualified electricians  and have the skills and competency to carry out such tests. It is generally recommended that when having this done the electrician should be part of NAPIT or the NICEIC which proves the competency of the electrician carrying out the electrical certificate

The recommendation for having your electrical test carried out is every 5 years and we also advise that if you have a tenant leaving your rented accommodation to have one carried out then to ensure that they have not compromised the competency of the electrical equipment, wiring or it accessories.
