In the UK, gas safety compliance is a legal responsibility for all landlords. Whether you’re a tenant verifying safety standards or a landlord ensuring your legal duties are met, knowing how to check a landlord gas certificate online is essential. As property compliance increasingly moves into the digital space, Fraser Bond outlines the practical steps and legal context for checking gas certificates online—while offering expert solutions for landlords across London.
The Gas Safety Certificate—also known as a CP12—is a legal document issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer confirming that all gas appliances, flues, and pipework in a rental property are safe and meet UK regulations.
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, UK landlords are required to:
Carry out annual gas safety checks
Use only Gas Safe registered engineers
Provide tenants with a copy of the CP12 within 28 days
Maintain records for at least 2 years
Yes, in most cases—but not via a central government portal. Instead, checking a gas certificate online depends on how the property is managed and how the inspection was handled. Here’s how to check it:
The quickest and most direct method is to request a digital copy. Fraser Bond provides all tenants and landlords with electronic certificates through a secure management system.
If the property is managed via a system like:
Arthur Online
Fixflo
PropertyFile
...you may be granted login access to view compliance documents, including gas safety certificates.
Many letting agents and landlords now include a PDF or login link to gas certificates in the tenancy onboarding documents.
Some engineers issue CP12 certificates via online portals. If you know who carried out the inspection, you can request a reissued digital copy.
Important: The Gas Safe Register itself does not hold or share individual gas certificates. It can only be used to verify whether an engineer or business is legally certified.
