In Manchester’s fast-paced rental market, staying compliant with safety regulations is a top priority. One of the most important legal requirements for landlords is holding a valid CP12 Gas Safety Certificate—and for tenants, it’s about verifying the safety of the home they live in.
Fraser Bond’s guide to gas safety certificate lookup in Manchester explains how landlords and tenants can access or verify certificates and stay fully compliant with UK law.
Also known as a CP12, the Gas Safety Certificate proves that a registered Gas Safe engineer has inspected the gas appliances and systems in a rental property. It confirms the equipment is safe to use and legally compliant.
Certificates must be renewed every 12 months and a copy must be provided:
To new tenants before they move in
To existing tenants within 28 days of the annual inspection
If you’ve recently had an inspection, your Gas Safe engineer will typically email you a digital copy of the certificate (PDF). Ensure the certificate:
Lists all gas appliances inspected
Has a date within the past 12 months
Includes the engineer’s Gas Safe registration number
Fraser Bond assists Manchester landlords by:
Scheduling annual inspections with Gas Safe registered engineers
Delivering and securely storing digital CP12 certificates
Sending automated reminders before certificates expire
Communicating with tenants to provide required copies
Can’t locate your certificate? Contact the business or engineer who performed the inspection and request a replacement digital copy.
Under UK law, you are entitled to see a valid CP12. It must:
Be less than 12 months old
Cover all gas appliances in the property
Show the engineer’s name and licence number
Visit www.gassaferegister.co.uk and enter the engineer’s 7-digit licence number from the certificate. The register will confirm:
Their registration status
Expiry date
Types of gas work they are qualified to carry out
With a growing rental market, Manchester landlords are under increasing scrutiny to meet legal standards. Not having a valid CP12 can result in:
Fines and penalties
Invalidated insurance
Legal action in the event of gas-related incidents
