Gas safety certificates—commonly known as CP12s—are a legal requirement for all rental properties in England. Whether you're a landlord ensuring compliance or a tenant checking the safety of your home, being able to locate or verify a gas safety certificate online is essential.
Fraser Bond offers this simple guide to help both landlords and tenants confidently access or confirm their gas safety records with ease.
A Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) confirms that a qualified Gas Safe registered engineer has inspected your property’s gas appliances and systems. This check must be completed annually in all rented properties.
The certificate includes:
Property address
List of appliances tested
Results of each test
Engineer's name, registration number, and business info
Date of inspection and renewal due date
After a gas safety inspection, engineers typically email a PDF copy of the certificate. Check your inbox or property management system for the file.
