With the rise of digital property management, UK landlords and tenants often ask: Can I look up a gas safety certificate online? The answer is: yes—but only under specific conditions. While there’s no public CP12 database, online gas certificate access is available through engineers, agents, and secure portals.
Fraser Bond explains how you can legally and efficiently manage CP12 certificates online to remain compliant with UK rental law.
A CP12 is a document confirming that a Gas Safe registered engineer has inspected a property’s gas appliances and found them safe for use. UK landlords are required by law to:
Arrange gas safety checks annually
Retain each certificate for at least 2 years
Provide a copy to new tenants before move-in and to existing tenants within 28 days of inspection
There is no central, publicly searchable online database for CP12 gas safety certificates by property address. This is to protect privacy and prevent misuse.
You can access your CP12 certificate online through:
Your Gas Safe registered engineer
Your property management company or letting agent
Fraser Bond’s secure landlord portal
After a gas safety inspection:
Engineers typically email a PDF version of the CP12
Some larger providers have online portals where you can download certificates by property
Always check that the certificate includes:
Your property address
Inspection date and expiry
Engineer’s Gas Safe licence number
If Fraser Bond manages your property:
You’ll receive automatic CP12 uploads after every inspection
Download your certificates via your landlord dashboard
Get reminders before certificates expire
Tenants also receive copies digitally as required by law
If you’ve misplaced your CP12:
Contact your gas engineer or managing agent
Request a reissue via email or secure portal
Even if you can’t search by address, you can verify the engineer who issued the CP12:
Use the “Check an Engineer” tool
Enter their 7-digit licence number
Confirm their registration and qualifications for the type of work performed
Legal Compliance: Protect yourself from fines or invalidated insurance
Accessibility: Quickly retrieve documents for tenant requests or property audits
Efficiency: Streamline safety management across your property portfolio
Fraser Bond offers a full-service compliance platform for landlords:
Annual inspections arranged with certified Gas Safe engineers
Digital certificates stored and shared automatically
Online access for landlords and tenants

While there’s no national online gas certificate lookup by address, landlords and tenants can still manage and access CP12 records digitally. Fraser Bond makes the process seamless—combining legal compliance, professional oversight, and digital convenience.
