If you're a landlord in London, ensuring your rental property is safe, legally compliant, and tenant-ready isn’t optional — it’s the law. One of the most critical legal requirements is obtaining a valid Gas Safety Certificate, also known as a CP12. This certificate confirms that all gas appliances, pipework, and flues within your property are operating safely and meet UK regulations.
At Fraser Bond, we make compliance simple by offering fast, reliable, and fully certified gas safety inspections as part of our property management and landlord support services across London.
A Gas Safety Certificate is a legal document issued by a Gas Safe registered engineer after inspecting gas appliances and installations within a property.
It covers:
Gas boilers and heaters
Gas cookers and hobs
Flues and chimneys
Gas pipework integrity and pressure testing
Appliance ventilation and burner checks
A valid certificate is required every 12 months and must be provided to tenants within 28 days of inspection or at the start of a new tenancy.
Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, landlords are required to:
Arrange annual gas safety checks by a Gas Safe registered engineer
Maintain records of all checks for at least 2 years
Provide tenants with a valid certificate within the legal timeframe
Ensure all gas equipment provided is safe and properly maintained
Failure to comply can lead to:
Fines up to £6,000 per property
Invalidated landlord insurance
Prosecution or civil liability if negligence leads to injury or death
Fraser Bond streamlines the compliance process by managing gas safety inspections across all boroughs in London, including for:
Long-term rentals
HMOs

Student accommodation
Serviced apartments
Booking and coordinating with Gas Safe registered engineers
Reminder scheduling before certificates expire
Digital copy of the certificate stored in your landlord portal
Combined compliance packages (e.g. EPC, EICR, smoke alarms)

We handle all logistics so you stay compliant — with minimal disruption.
Annually — every 12 months from the date of the last valid certificate
Before new tenancies — a valid certificate must be available at move-in
HMOs and student properties — require even more stringent monitoring
Fraser Bond ensures that renewal deadlines are never missed and your records are kept up to date.
A Gas Safe engineer will:
Inspect all gas appliances for leaks or dangerous emissions
Check pressure levels and ventilation
Confirm correct burner operation
Ensure flues and chimneys are unblocked and drawing properly
Issue a CP12 certificate detailing results, faults, and required repairs (if any)
Repairs or recommendations are addressed promptly by Fraser Bond’s maintenance team (if under full management).
