If you're a landlord or tenant in Scotland, you may be wondering: Can I view gas safety records online? The answer depends on what records you’re looking for—and who you are. While there is no public online database for CP12 gas safety certificates by address, landlords and tenants can still access their certificates through the correct digital channels.
Fraser Bond explains what is and isn’t accessible online and how to remain fully compliant under Scottish rental law.
A CP12 confirms that a Gas Safe registered engineer has checked all gas appliances and flues in a property and found them safe. Scottish landlords are legally required to:
Have a gas safety check carried out every 12 months
Keep each certificate for at least 2 years
Provide a copy of the certificate:
To tenants before they move in
Within 28 days of every annual inspection
This applies under the Repairing Standard enforced by the Scottish Housing Regulator and local councils.
No, you cannot publicly search for or view gas safety records by property address in Scotland. CP12s are private documents and are:
Not stored in a public national database
Not searchable by postcode or address
Only accessible to landlords, agents, engineers, and tenants on request
Ask your Gas Safe registered engineer for a digital PDF after inspection
Store the CP12 securely on your property compliance system
If Fraser Bond manages your property, log in to your landlord portal to download the CP12
Ask your landlord or letting agent for a copy
You are legally entitled to receive:
A copy before moving in
A copy within 28 days of each new inspection
Verify the engineer’s registration at www.gassaferegister.co.uk
Use cloud-based systems or Fraser Bond’s compliance platform to store and access digital certificates
Ensure CP12s are always available for landlord and tenant requests
While the certificate itself isn’t publicly viewable, you can confirm the engineer’s credentials by:
Visiting the Gas Safe Register
Clicking “Check an Engineer”
Entering the 7-digit Gas Safe licence number found on the CP12
Confirming:
Active registration status
Certified work types (e.g., boilers, flues, cookers)
Fraser Bond supports full compliance in Scotland by offering:
Annual inspections by Gas Safe registered engineers
Secure digital CP12 storage and retrieval
Online access for landlords and tenants
Proactive alerts before certificate expiry
You can’t view gas safety records online by address in Scotland—but you can request, download, and verify CP12 certificates through legal channels. With Fraser Bond, Scottish landlords and tenants get peace of mind, full legal compliance, and digital access to critical documents.
