How to Access and Manage CP12 Records Digitally – A Fraser Bond Guide

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.

What Is a CP12 Gas Safety Certificate?

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

Can You Look Up a Gas Safety Certificate Online?

No Public Database

There is no central, publicly searchable online database for CP12 gas safety certificates by property address. This is to protect privacy and prevent misuse.

Private Online Access

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

How to Access Your CP12 Online

1. From Your Engineer or Inspection Company

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

2. Through Fraser Bond’s Digital Landlord System

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

3. Request a Copy

If you’ve misplaced your CP12:

  • Contact your gas engineer or managing agent

  • Request a reissue via email or secure portal

How to Verify a Gas Certificate

Even if you can’t search by address, you can verify the engineer who issued the CP12:

  • Visit www.gassaferegister.co.uk

  • Use the “Check an Engineer” tool

  • Enter their 7-digit licence number

  • Confirm their registration and qualifications for the type of work performed
