Gas safety compliance is critical in London’s high-density rental market. Whether you’re a landlord managing multiple properties or a tenant moving into a new flat, checking the gas safety certificate (CP12) online ensures the property is safe and legally compliant.
Fraser Bond explains how to quickly verify a gas certificate using trusted digital tools and avoid costly compliance issues.
A CP12 gas certificate confirms that a Gas Safe registered engineer has inspected all gas appliances in a property, confirming they are safe to use. This is a legal requirement for landlords in the UK and must be renewed every 12 months.
The certificate includes:
Property address
List of appliances tested (e.g., boiler, hob, gas fire)
Results of safety checks
Engineer details and Gas Safe licence number
Inspection date and next due date
Landlords: To confirm your engineer is registered and your property is compliant
Tenants: To verify your property has been legally inspected and is safe to occupy
Buyers: To request and confirm up-to-date gas safety documentation before exchange
Landlords: You should already have it digitally from your engineer or letting agent
Tenants: Request it from your landlord or property manager
Buyers: Ask the seller or estate agent for the latest inspection certificate
